The opportunity:
We’re looking for a junior designer with a strong digital skillset to join a high-performing communications team within a Federal Government agency.

This is an excellent early-career opportunity for someone who has recently completed TAFE or university studies in design or is currently in their final year.

You’ll be part of a supportive environment with mentoring from two experienced designers, and exposure to a wide range of work across video, animation, social media and digital campaigns.

In this role, you’ll:

  • Use Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop essential) to create assets across digital and print platforms
  • Design for social media, websites, presentations, print, and internal comms – tailoring content to suit different formats
  • Contribute to video, animation, and motion-based content creation
  • Work collaboratively with stakeholders to manage timelines and deliverables
  • Stay up to date with emerging design trends, technologies, and AI tools

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has a strong portfolio or examples of work (including from study or freelance/part-time experience)
  • Can manage competing deadlines and work with minimal supervision
  • Communicates clearly and provides great internal service
  • Has a creative mindset and problem-solving approach
  • Is curious, adaptable and eager to learn

This role is open to candidates at different APS levels depending on experience:

  • APS2: Final year students or recent grads with limited experience
  • APS3-4: Completed study with demonstrated design or workplace experience
