Your new company

This federal government agency plays a key role in shaping national policy and service delivery in the health and aged care sectors. Based in central Sydney, the organisation offers a collaborative, people-focused environment with a strong emphasis on governance, transparency, and stakeholder engagement. You'll be joining a small, dynamic team within the Office of the CEO, where your work will directly support strategic operations and executive oversight.

Your new role

As the APS6 Records Management & Reporting Officer, you'll lead two strategic initiatives that are central to the agency's compliance and governance operations. This is a project-focused role with autonomy, visibility, and impact.

You will:

  • Lead the review and update of the agency's Records Authority in line with National Archives of Australia requirements
  • Develop and revise internal recordkeeping policies and procedures to ensure consistency and compliance across the organisation
  • Provide formal reporting and submissions to the National Archives as required
  • Evaluate the agency's internal Activity Tracking and Reporting Tool, used to monitor workstreams and support executive decision-making
  • Recommend and implement improvements to the Tool, including ongoing support and maintenance
  • Scope and manage your own project plan, identifying key deliverables and driving them to completion
  • Consult with internal stakeholders across departments and externally with the National Archives to gather insights and ensure alignment
  • Work within a small, collaborative corporate governance team that values initiative, flexibility, and a proactive approach

What you'll need to succeed

  • Strong experience in records management, ideally within a government
  • Familiarity with Content Manager (TRIM) or similar EDRMS platforms
  • Excellent writing and documentation skills for policy development, briefs, and formal submissions
  • Ability to manage projects independently and deliver outcomes with minimal supervision
  • Understanding of relevant legislation such as the Archives Act, Privacy Act 1988, PGPA Act, and related frameworks
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and interpersonal skills
  • A proactive mindset and ability to thrive in a dynamic, talkative, and collaborative environment

What you'll get in return

  • A meaningful role in a nationally significant agency
  • A supportive, inclusive, and engaged team culture
  • Hybrid working arrangements after onboarding
  • Exposure to high-level governance and executive functions
  • Opportunity to lead a project with real impact on compliance and operational efficiency
