The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has up to 100,000 paid temporary jobs available at the next federal election.
More than 9 in 10 previous temporary staff say they’d recommend the work to others – and that they’d do it again. Why not join them?
There is a range of different roles from entry-level to senior positions in metro, regional and remote areas. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t worked at an election before. You’ll get paid to train and on-the-job support.
Most jobs are on voting day, but some roles are for several weeks before or after, making it a great opportunity to earn extra money. You’ll also be contributing to your community and working as part of a team.
Many of the people who worked on the last major event, the referendum, enjoyed the experience:
‘It was an AMAZING team environment where I worked and a great vibe.’
‘An opportunity to connect with people in my community, some of whom I hadn’t seen in decades.’
‘I was thrilled with my staff. Most had never worked in an election before however they were keen and happy to do any task asked of them.’
As the AEC’s role is to deliver the election with the highest levels of integrity and impartiality, you must be and be seen to be, politically neutral.
The AEC strives to have a workforce that reflects and supports the diverse community we serve. We encourage people from all backgrounds and locations to join our team, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Tell your friends and family about this work opportunity too.
