The Education and Care, Regulation and Support (ECRS) Branch regulates and supports over 370 education and care services, 600 home-educated resident children, 49 non-government schools, and five ACT school CRICOS providers.

This role will require the candidate to be emersed in the legislation, create balanced assessments using strong administrative decision making, while professionally representing the Regulatory Authority with members of the public.

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. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.
