Location: Canberra ACT
Application Closing Date: Wednesday 22 April at 11:30pm AEST
Classification
APS Level 6 ($101,657- $114,239)
Employment Type
Ongoing & Non-ongoing (for a period of up to 24 months)
This role is being advertised as both ongoing and non-ongoing, with the employment type to be determined in negotiation with the preferred candidate and the PM&C delegate.
Where a non-ongoing specified term is offered, this would be for a maximum period of two (2) years. If the initial contract is for less than 2 years, it may be extended or renewed once, up to the 2 year limit.
A non-ongoing offer may result in conversion to an ongoing offer of employment, however this must occur within 18 months from the opening date of this advertisement.
Flexible Work
At PM&C we recognise the broad benefits of offering flexibility in how, when and where work is performed. We consider flexibility first from a starting position of ‘how can we make this work?’ and consider individual circumstances and operational requirements in making genuine attempts to establish mutually beneficial arrangements. Please reach out to the contact officer if you would like to explore what flexibility might look like for you, such as part time work, variable start and finish times or working from home.
Working at the DVSC
As a new agency, the DVSC is now recruiting staff and will continue to do so over the coming year. You have an opportunity to join us now where your expertise can help influence and shape our strategy in support of the Commissioner’s independent oversight of wide-ranging reforms across the Defence and veteran ecosystem now and into the future.
We are looking to recruit high performing and dedicated staff with a range of capabilities, who demonstrate integrity, independence and compassion. A key focus of the DVSC’s work is the prevention of suicide and suicidality. While the DVSC has a proactive wellbeing program, applicants are encouraged to consider their personal circumstances when applying for this role. Applicants can familiarise themselves with the findings and recommendations of the Final Report of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide for further information.
The DVSC is an independent agency. We are currently physically located in Canberra, within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet under a shared service arrangement. While we transition our employment framework, the successful candidate may be on-boarded via the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and subsequently transitioned to the DVSC.
Employment with the DVSC is offered under the Public Service (Terms and Conditions of Employment) (Defence and Veterans’ Service Commission) Determination 2025.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Lawyer with a minimum of 2 years’ relevant post-admission legal experience to join our small General Counsel team to advise on a range of legal matters, working in a dynamic and cohesive environment.
Working under direction from the General Counsel, you will use your professional knowledge and experience to contribute to the delivery of the team’s services by providing high-quality legal advice and assistance on a range of inquiry-related, government and corporate legal matters.
The role would include provision of advice on a breadth of matters including privacy, Freedom of Information (FOI) and Public Interest Disclosure (PID) law, administrative law and the Commonwealth’s governance, risk management and financial frameworks. It will also require the capacity to acquire quickly a thorough knowledge of the Commission’s enabling legislation and the Commissioner’s functions, including in relation to the conduct of inquiries. You will actively manage competing requests and demands and invest in knowledge sharing. You will also work collaboratively with stakeholders, proactively contribute to process improvement and behave with integrity, enabling you to build trust and communicate with influence.
In this position you will:
Assist the Senior Lawyer and General Counsel in the provision of accurate, practical and timely legal advice on a range of matters, including corporate, administrative and matters relating to the Commission’s inquiry functions.
Manage issues surrounding the collection, management, use and disclosure of personal information and protected information under the Commission’s enabling legislation and the Privacy Act.
Provide advice and assistance in relation to FOI and PID matters.
Draft and review Commission policies, procedures, forms, resource materials, contracts and other legal documents for internal and external use or publication.
What you will bring
The occupant of this role demonstrates integrity, independence and compassion while delivering the work of the Commission and has:
The ability to manage sensitive and confidential matters with integrity and discretion
Strong legal research, analysis and advisory skills
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare reports and legal documents
Strong stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills
Demonstrated expertise including in Freedom of Information (FOI), Public Interest Disclosure (PID) and administrative law (or the ability to quickly acquire it)
Capacity to manage competing priorities and deliver results under pressure.
Eligibility
Under section 22(8) of the Public Service Act 1999, employees must be Australian citizens to be employed in the APS unless the Agency Head has agreed otherwise, in writing. At PM&C to be eligible for this position you should be an Australian Citizen by the completion of the recruitment process, except under exceptional circumstances.
The successful candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance, or hold a current security clearance of an appropriate level.
The successful candidate will be assessed through our pre-employment screening checks, such as an Australian Criminal History Check, and will normally be subject to a six-month probation period if new to the APS or has not yet completed their probation period elsewhere in the APS.
Security Clearance Required
Negative Vetting Level 1 (Secret)
How to apply
Submit an online application through the PM&C Current Opportunities by 11:30pm AEST Wednesday 22 April.
As part of your application you will need to provide:
Your resume (maximum three pages)
A ‘one page pitch’ telling us how your skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications make you the best person for the job and to perform at the relevant classification level.
You are encouraged to refer to the Candidate Pack and the relevant classification level of the PM&C Performance Model to assist you in drafting your one page pitch.
