Are you interested in learning more about policy development and the ACT Budget process? Do you want to be part of a high performing and supportive team, applying strategic thinking, communication, and critical analysis skills, to advise the Government on key budget initiatives?

ACT Treasury, within the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate (CMTEDD), is seeking expressions of interest from permanent officers, for at level transfers, at the Senior Officer Grade C (SOGC) and Administrative Service Officer Class 5 and Administrative Service Officer Class 6 (ASO5/6) to support the delivery of the 2023-24 Budget.

The positions are available for a period of up to three months and will provide a great opportunity to contribute to the development of key policy priorities impacting our community.

Enthusiastic and friendly team members will support successful applicants to make a positive contribution from the start and to gain the most from the experience.

The ACT Public Service supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ+ are encouraged to apply.
