We offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements, a collaborative team environment, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across one of the ACT's largest workforces.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community.
