We are looking to fill vacancies in our Evidence Management Team, within the Criminal Investigations Branch (CIB). This is a new team, and you will have the opportunity to shape the culture and work practices of the area.

A merit list may also be formed as a result of this exercise and may be used to fill similar vacancies in the next 18 months.
About the Team
The CIB is being established in response to the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Act 2023, which introduces a criminal offence for employers intentionally failing to pay employee entitlements. The OFWO will be responsible for investigating contraventions of the offence and referring matters to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) or the Australian Federal Police (AFP). The CIB will be responsible for establishing the systems, processes, capabilities, and policies required to effectively operate as a dual civil and criminal regulator.
The Evidence Management Team within the CIB will be responsible for overseeing the proper collection, documentation, and preservation of evidence throughout the investigation of matters to a criminal standard of proof through to delivery of briefs of evidence and support during prosecutions.
This is a high-profile area with interest from the Australian public and stakeholder groups within and external to the OFWO. You'll need to be comfortable working in an environment with a high level of scrutiny.
