**Agency Purpose**
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is an independent statutory authority established by the Australian Government to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters through active electoral roll management, efficient delivery of polling services, and targeted education and public awareness programs.
**The AEC's values and commitments**
The AEC values and commitments are an essential component of our operating environment and frame how AEC staff work. The AEC's focus is on electoral integrity through the values of quality, agility and professionalism.
**The Team**
The National Training and Education Unit (NTEU) is a specialist team of skilled practitioners in the field of training and education with extensive electoral experience. The Unit is responsible for the delivery of high-quality training, development and education that professionalises the AEC's workforce and builds knowledge of electoral processes in our stakeholders.
The NTEU is a dispersed team and operates as an agile pool, where staff take responsibility for diverse projects and programs and report through to different supervisors depending on the assignment of work. All staff have a single line manager for HR purposes. Unit members are expected to undertake periodic travel.
The NTEU is a very high workload unit, working within the People Branch. There are many rewarding programs and projects that staff will have the opportunity to work on, with governance and reporting playing a crucial role in the success of these programs and projects, and something all Unit members share responsibility for.
The AEC is committed to the APS values of being impartial, committed to service, accountable, respectful and ethical.
