Employment Opportunity
The Freedom of Information and Privacy section (FOIP) within the Office of Corporate Counsel (OCC) is primarily responsible for processing the department's access to information requests under the FOI and Privacy Acts. FOIP processes Freedom of Information requests made to the department, the Attorney-General, the Anti-Slavery Commissioner and the Inspector of the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The section is also responsible for undertaking the department's Privacy Act casework functions.

APS5-6 FOIP Case Officer roles in the FOIP team involve a wide range of matters, a diverse group of internal and external stakeholders and a high degree of autonomy.

We encourage you to apply if you have an interest in FOI and Privacy and/or if you would like to apply your prior casework experience as you learn more about information management and access frameworks.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their information law experience and expertise through, among other things, efficient handling of FOI and Privacy requests in collaboration with a team of collegiate and experienced colleagues.

Our ideal candidate will:

assist the department to meet its statutory obligations under the FOI Act and Privacy Act
provide advice to, and work with, business areas to finalise FOI cases
contribute to the development and improvement of best practice procedures and systems
