ACT Government

There are so many roles you can take on in the ACT Government from direct service to strategic and government management.  Most areas are good to work and like any organisation some managers and Directorates are better than others.  Ultimately this usually depends on the individuals.  But as an organisation there are good structures and good opportunities.

Office locations are across Canberra so if you have some control you can select a location that works best for you.  If you are going to apply for a job it does help to show that you have researched the ACT Government and have some idea of the roles the local government does (please ensure you make your application ACT specific instead of APS).

There is no typical day at work. There are regular scheduled meetings but at any stage of the day someone or a project hits a crisis point.
I learnt very quickly to get the days work out of my so I can deal with the crisis as they arise.
Management were an interesting part of the game. They either didn't wont to know or micromanaged. The best of them trusted their staff to do what they did and did it well.
The  hardest part of change management is to guide people down a path without taking dangerous shortcuts. The most enjoyable part was seeing the 'lightbulb' moment when the reason for a structured process is that it makes life easier not harder.

Their call centre environment is all about supporting every ACT government sector but there's close to no support for the officers who takes these calls. You'll do the hard work and numbers but people will only see you for the mistakes you've made and hardly get any recognition for your efforts. Even if you've come from an already well established IT background. It's crunch time, all the time.

Some people and teams are fantastic, but overall, the system fosters toxicity. Workforce policies and philosophy are a veneer that promotes diversity, inclusiveness and merit, but underneath the surface it's all back-door personnel management, keeping up the appearance of procedural fairness and adherence to legislation and policy, while manipulating outcomes.

I had a hideous experience - I was covertly bullied for over a year. This ended in my resignation from an ACT government department which is supposed to uphold justice and community safety. What a joke.
My mental health was so compromised that anxiety and depression took over my life.
I will never be the same.

Great team environment, great people and really focused on individual strengths and how to counteract where room for improvement. I have really enjoyed my time here and will be very sad leaving.

Every day was different, I did various things such as general horticulture, removal of rubbish, Mowing grass, Whipper snippering, High Pressure cleaning (water), Street Cleaning etc. 

I did a lot of interacting with the public, I also got pride in my job by seeing the end result, in completion of what the task was.

If you want a great culture this is not the place to be. The upper management at Gunghalin threaten and bully staff. Lower management are better, depending on the area. The staff who do all the work in general are a great bunch to work with, and with all places, some groups better then others.

I`m start my job as service desk support in 27Aug 2019 and 2 days sent me to the site to more induction and trained me for 5 days, in days 9 I started to answer the call with my team leader vision. they fire me in days 9 with 1 hour notice.

Bad Management. As a casual Special Needs Transport Driver, you will only be called to work if a permanent driver is sick or on leave.
Could be once a week, once a fortnight, once a month. Not suitable if you are looking for regular work.
