Election jobs on offer for regional NSW

The AEC is putting out a call across regional New South Wales for paid workers to help deliver Australia’s next federal election – due by May of 2025.

There has been strong interest in the AEC’s recruitment drive for the next election, but more people are needed across the state.

In particular, the AEC is encouraging people in the following electorates to register their interest:

• Parkes - including Coonamble, Bourke, Cobar, Moree, Dubbo, Nyngan, Narrabri, Broken Hill, Wyalong, Parkes and Forbes
• New England - including Scone, Tamworth, Armidale, Inverell and Glen Innes
• Page - including Lismore, Grafton, Coffs Harbour and surrounds
• Calare - including Orange, Bathurst, Wellington, Blayney, Lithgow, Wallerawang, Mudgee and Rylstone
• Farrer - including Griffith, Leeton, Albury, Deniliquin, Corowa, Narrandera, Hay, Wentworth, Lavington and Hay
• Riverina - including Wagga Wagga.

Election jobs come in a variety of types, from working on election day through to engagement for up to 7 weeks of a full election campaign period.

The AEC is also reminding people who may have worked at the 2023 referendum or a previous federal election that their expression of interest will not carry over for the next federal election – they need to visit the AEC’s website and register for temporary employment.

You can register your interest online by visiting the AEC’s website.
