The Role
Are you detail-obsessed, security-minded and passionate about protecting personal privacy?
Our Records Officers play a vital role in ensuring that the sensitive personal information of our ADF members remains confidential, secure, and compliant with legislation.
In this role, your work will directly support public transparency while safeguarding privacy – ensuring that administrative access requests for personal information are thoroughly and responsibly reviewed. This is more than redaction – it’s about upholding public trust and personal privacy.
This is precision work with a purpose, and it matters!
What you will do:
- Scrutinise documents to identify third party, sensitive or classified content.
- Apply redaction protocols with accuracy and speed to remove identified data.
- Use specialised tools and software to maintain document integrity and audit trails.
- Work to ensure your work aligns with the Privacy Act and national security guidelines.
- Ensure transparency whilst upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and ethics.
Every document you touch balances two vital goals: transparency and protection. Your precision helps ADF members, their families and representatives access vital information without compromising the privacy of individuals.
Records Officers are supported with a modern adult learning principled approach to ongoing training, coaching and performance development. This ensures Records Officers’ skills and knowledge are expanded to enhance and maintain the delivery of quality and consistent customer service excellence.
