What We Offer

A federal election creates over 100,000 jobs in cities, regional and remote areas across Australia.

To reflect the diverse community we serve, the AEC welcomes people from all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and people with disability.

Join our team to help deliver these events. You can contribute to your community and Australia’s democracy, while meeting great people. At the same time you can:

  • earn income on a casual basis – up to 7 weeks of work depending on the role
  • receive paid training
  • learn new and transferrable skills, such as customer service, leadership and operational delivery
  • achieve work experience for your resume and potential references.

Pay rates range from $30.14 to $36.64, this range includes the base hourly rate plus 25% loading. Overtime incurs a 50% or 100% loading. Please refer to the employment terms and conditions (see part C and D for the types of pay).
