Did you know?

The mission of the Australian Federal Police is to provide dynamic and effective law enforcement to the people of Australia. It provides policing throughout Australia in relation to the prevention and detection of crimes against the Commonwealth, its laws and integrity, and community police services to the Community of the ACT.

Working for the AFP provides you with a diverse and rewarding career. Whether you immerse yourself in a position on the frontline, or provide critical operational or professional support, the work you do makes a big impact on the people of Australia.

What is the role?

Become the Face Behind Canberra’s Favourite Koala!

If you grew up in Canberra, you will more than likely know the name and face of Constable Kenny Koala! ACT Policing’s famous crime fighting koala has become a household name over the years, helping generations of young people learn important life skills through fun, interactive safety education. For more than 50 years, the Constable Kenny Koala program has been delivering presentations across Canberra on the topics of road safety, protective behaviours, decision making, and cyber safety. Constable Kenny is a high-profile and trusted public figure, and ACT Policing is now looking for the right additions to the team to continue upholding the valuable reputation he has in the community.

Working alongside Constable Kenny is more than just holding a puppet — it's about bringing Constable Kenny to life, representing yourself as a trusted friend of both Constable Kenny and ACT Policing, and inspiring young people to make safe choices, build resilience, and develop positive relationships with police. Schools and early learning environments are at the heart of the program; a friend of Constable Kenny can expect to be spending their days delivering scheduled sessions to a variety of children aged 3-12 years. You will also have the opportunity to attend community events with Constable Kenny to continue promoting the work of police in the ACT and deepening community connections. All efforts are designed to build trust and confidence in ACT Policing, encourage vulnerable community members to report crime, and divert young people from unsafe behaviours.

Constable Kenny has an irreplaceable role to play as a conduit between police and the community – regardless of age, background, gender, or language, the role of a Constable Kenny handler is to allow others to see themselves reflected in those there to protect them, the police. This is a rare opportunity to be part of a program that has touched the lives of thousands of Canberra children and families. If you’re looking for a role where you can educate, inspire, connect and make a genuine impact, then Constable Kenny is ready for his next trusted partner.

You will also be required to contribute to the achievement of outcomes in accordance with the regulatory framework, the AFP Code of Conduct and the AFP Governance Instruments.
