AddressThe Strategic Policy and Programs (SPP) Branch within TCCS is responsible for strategic policy and legislation development, managing transport-related operational policy and regulation, and implementing innovative road safety and active travel programs for the Canberra community.
Transport policy is relevant to our everyday lives, always topical, and shapes the way people move around the ACT. You will have the opportunity to work on tangible and meaningful challenges such as dangerous driving, drug and alcohol driving, modern enforcement approaches, and crucially, driver behavioural change and education. Your work will directly improve road safety outcomes in the community. Working in our multidisciplinary team you will lead and support a variety of transport-focused policy, regulation, and legislative projects from inception through to delivery and implementation. And, perhaps most importantly, you will actively contribute to a positive and high performing team, with a happy, constructive, and outcomes-focused culture.
As a Policy Officer in the Policy and Legislation (Transport) team you will be motivated and outcomes oriented with a strong drive and ability to work collaboratively but also autonomously. You will contribute to all aspects of scoped and agreed project activities, as well as other duties which contribute to the operation of the broader Branch. Working in a multidisciplinary team you will support a variety of policy, regulation, and legislative projects from inception through to delivery and implementation. You will participate in research, analysis, stakeholder consultation, and drafting of reports, briefs and other necessary government correspondence. You will work with subject matter experts, on-ground staff, the community, and other stakeholders to co-design solutions.
If you are passionate about making a difference to improve on-ground outcomes in our Nation’s Capital and enjoy working on fascinating and complex Policy challenges, then this role could be for you.
