The Role
The Defence Intelligence Organisation’s people are our most valuable resource. We bring together smart, focused people from a range of backgrounds and provide them with training and opportunities to develop deep subject matter expertise. Our work is exciting, interesting and imbibed with a strong sense of purpose. As an APS5 Intelligence Assessment Analyst in South-East Asia and Pacific Branch, you will analyse information from a variety of sources to discern what is true and what is probable. You will communicate your assessments in writing and verbally, to inform Australia’s national security decision-making. You will have the discretion to exercise initiative and judgement as you work independently and as part of a team. You will build working relationships across the Australian National Intelligence Community, throughout the Australian government and with international partners.
This role is eligible for an additional remuneration benefit known in Defence as a Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP). This enables Defence to provide a premium, in addition to the base salary otherwise payable under the Defence Enterprise Agreement (DEA), for positions in occupational disciplines/classifications that are critical to Defence capability.
