Temporary Employment Register 2025-26

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is an independent Commonwealth statutory authority responsible for the regulation of broadcasting, radiocommunications, telecommunications and some online content. This work underpins our vision for a connected, informed and entertained Australia. The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is Australia’s independent regulator for online safety. eSafety fosters online safety by exercising powers under Australian Government legislation, primarily the Online Safety Act, to protect Australians from serious online harms and to promote safer, more positive online experiences. We achieve this through regulation, national leadership and coordination, research, and educational and awareness activities that promote online safety.

eSafety leads and coordinates online safety efforts across government departments, authorities and agencies. The eSafety Commissioner is an independent statutory office holder. Under the Online Safety Act, the ACMA makes staff available to assist the eSafety Commissioner to perform their functions and exercise their powers to such extent as the eSafety Commissioner reasonably requires. The eSafety Commissioner is an independent statutory office holder supported by staff from the Australian Communications and Media Authority. We seek to attract, develop and retain a diverse, enthusiastic and high-performing workforce.

To help us in achieving this, we maintain a register of interested applicants for use by managers to fill temporary (non-ongoing) roles up to a maximum period of 24 months. The register is used on a needs basis to fill positions that may be full time, part time or casual depending on business needs. More details about terms and conditions of employment with the ACMA can be found in the ACMA's Enterprise Agreement. The ACMA offers employment opportunities across a wide range of functions:
