Full Job Description

Closes: 28 August 2026

Classification: Senior Adviser Level 2
Salary: $167,151 - $188,260 plus superannuation
Position No: 44866
Directorate: ACT Executive
Advertised (Gazettal date): 17 August 2026
Contact Officer: BrandonH Lee on [email protected] or (02) 6205 0011

Details: Minister Tough is seeking a Chief of Staff to lead her Ministerial office. Working closely with the Minister you will be responsible for long-term strategic planning, operational leadership and day to day management of the Minister’s office. You will need to be comfortable working across a broad range of portfolios to localised priority projects, as well as policy development, legislative reform and overseeing the day to day Ministerial-level management of government business and a number of agencies.

You will lead and support the professional development of a small, dedicated team of ministerial staff, and work closely with the offices of other Ministers and MLAs to support good government in the ACT.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACT Public Service (ACTPS) and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Eligibility/Other requirements:

Reporting to the Minister, the Chief of Staff will manage the Minister’s office and team of advisers, and provide high level policy, analytical and strategic political advice to the Minister and ACT Government. Key responsibilities of the role include:

Managing a high-performing team and ensuring systems and processes support the Minister.
Long term planning, strategy development, and policy review for the Minister.
Analysing and reviewing complex policy issues and assisting the Minister with issues management.
Co-ordinating Government and Legislative Assembly business including legislation in the Minister's office and across the Executive.
Engage in constituency work as required, including maintaining awareness of and coordinating responses to constituency issues.
Fostering a positive and inclusive work environment and culture where all staff are valued and respected.
Providing advice, briefings, speeches, media support and other outputs for the Minister as required.
Working closely with other Chiefs of Staff, policy advisers, and media advisers to support the ACT Executive.

How to apply: Please submit a one-page cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact details for two referees to [email protected] by 11:59pm, Friday 28 August 2026.

The successful candidate will be engaged under a Legislative Assembly Members’ Staff contract, and other terms and conditions of employment are governed by the ACT Legislative Assembly Members’ Staff Enterprise Agreement 2023 - 2026.

It is not a public service position.

Applications should be submitted to [email protected].

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved. More information can be found here ACT Closing the Gap Implementation Plan - ACT Government Transparency Portal.
