Senior Program/Policy Officer

vor 1 Monat


Canberra, Österreich ClearCompany Vollzeit
The Transition Branch delivers policy, program and services, and works closely with a range of external and inter-departmental stakeholders to progress its work.
It is responsible for:
• Veteran employment policy;
• Transition policy
• Delivery of the Veteran Employment Program, including the Prime Minister's National Veteran Employment Awards, Veteran Employment Commitment and Employer Support; and
• Veteran support officers - delivery of education and support for ADF members

Senior Program/Policy Officers in the Deputy President Group are responsible for developing and implementing new policy proposals and challenging pre-existing policies, and delivering programs, communications and engagement activities to improve the veteran experience. These roles are instrumental in driving change across DVA. Successful applicants will be passionate about improving services for veterans, and will need to have strong oral and written communication skills, the ability to support productive working relationships, and build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders. Successful applicants will need to work as a team player delivering to short timeframes, during peak periods.

To succeed in this role, you will draw on a sound understanding of policy development and program delivery, and how it applies to veteran issues or be able to quickly acquire an understanding. An understanding of the veteran support system as it sits as part of broader government services would be an advantage, as would experience in costing new policy proposals. You will need to be curious and flexible and able to thrive in a rapidly-changing environment. The successful candidate may be required to undertake overnight travel.

The key duties of the position include
  • Provide high quality written and verbal policy advice to the Government, Minister and Executive in relation to veterans' issues, including health and mental health, transition initiatives and grant programs, and drafting associated documents including ministerial and executive submissions and correspondence;
  • Interpret and draft policy relevant to the Deputy President Group and develop new policy proposals, including policy costings;
  • Ability to deliver against program objectives, through effective team and program management, a focus on operational governance, continuous improvement and evaluation and assurance.
  • Ability to analyse and provide technical advice, including using health, social and economic data;
  • Work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Strong organisational skills including the ability to effectively prioritise to meet deadlines, manage competing tasks and demonstrated initiative and problem solving skills.
  • Project management, including planning and scheduling.
  • Procurement and contract management skills.
