This independent, high-integrity organisation plays a key role in promoting transparency, accountability and compliance in the management of essential public resources. With a strong ethical foundation and a commitment to operational excellence, the organisation supports informed decision-making and drives initiatives that strengthen governance and integrity across its functions.
You’ll be part of a collaborative and inclusive workplace that values innovation, respect and continuous improvement. It’s an environment where your contribution is recognised, and your professional growth is supported.
The Opportunity
This is your chance to start the year with a fresh challenge in a role that makes a real difference. You’ll join a trusted organisation known for its integrity, where your Freedom of Information (FOI) expertise directly supports transparency and good governance.
No two days are the same, you’ll manage a range of FOI requests, from straightforward to complex high-profile cases, collaborating across teams to deliver fair and balanced outcomes. You’ll enjoy autonomy and trust in your work, backed by a knowledgeable and approachable team.
You’ll gain exposure to meaningful work, flexible arrangements, and a culture that values integrity and balance. If you want a role where your FOI experience is recognised, your ideas are valued, and your work contributes to something bigger, this is the perfect next step in your APS career.
The Role
You’ll manage the coordination, case management and processing of FOI requests, ensuring all statutory requirements and timeframes are met.
Key duties include:
- Managing end-to-end FOI processes, including assessing, coordinating, and preparing documentation for decision-making
- Drafting formal decision letters, correspondence, briefings and reports
- Providing advice to staff on FOI matters, procedures, and best practice approaches
- Supporting internal and external review or complaint processes
- Contributing to the continuous improvement of FOI policies, procedures and systems
- Supporting governance, assurance and compliance activities
- Assisting with records management, including classification, migration, and audits
You’re an experienced FOI practitioner who takes pride in delivering accurate, timely and well-considered outcomes. You understand the legislative and procedural requirements of FOI work and can apply sound judgement to sensitive and complex matters. Your attention to detail, communication skills and ability to balance competing priorities make you an asset in a busy, professional environment.
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re proactive, adaptable, and committed to upholding public sector values. Experience with records management systems or working within an APS framework will be highly regarded.
