Net Zero Economy Authority - Policy & Program Advisors – Various Roles
The Net Zero Economy Act 2024 established the Net Zero Economy Authority (the Authority) as a statutory agency in December 2024.
The authority is presently establishing itself as a separate entity, including off-boarding from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C). The authority is expected to transition shortly to being a separate entity from PM&C, at which time, all employees will transfer under Machinery of Government (MoG) changes to the authority.
Our vision is to deliver a better future for industrial regions, communities and workers in a net zero economy.
To deliver on our vision, we have defined three core missions that guide our efforts:
* Help workers in coal and gas facilities affected by the transition to prepare for, and find, new well paid, safe and secure jobs.
* Support communities significantly affected by the transition to net zero to prosper, including through economic development and investment.
* Be a trusted and influential voice to build understanding of, and shape policy on, the net zero economic transition, particularly in the regions.This process will be used to fill multiple vacancies across a number of different teams within the authority. For detailed information on the teams and roles, please refer to the downloadable candidate information pack.
