Careers with FaHCSIA

The Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) offers a challenging and meaningful career working at the centre of the Australian Government's social policy agenda.

We are a people-based organisation that encourages flexible working conditions and opportunities for promotion and development in a career where you can make a difference to your community.

The diversity of our staff is very important to us and we actively encourage applications from people with disabilities, women and people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

We recognise the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and the unique knowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees bring to our workplace, policy development and service delivery. We welcome and encourage applications from Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders for vacancies in the Department.
