Employment with the ACNC
ACNC staff are employed under the Public Service Act 1999 by the Commissioner of Taxation, specifically for the purpose of assisting the ACNC Commissioner, and are therefore also bound by the employment conditions of ATO employees. The ATO ensures all employees, including those that work at the ACNC meet particular eligibility requirements, pass integrity checks, and have the right skills and capabilities. More information can be found on the ATO's information for applicants page.
Testimonials from our staff
“I felt an overwhelming sense of 'coming home' when I joined the ACNC - because I felt like I was with people who genuinely cared about me as a person and my needs - and I felt as though I had the support to back my own development and growth.
“The ACNC is the first place I have worked where the first thing I think about when describing its identity isn't the work itself, but the people who work there.”

Join our Advice Services team
The ACNC is always seeking motivated people who value the role that charities play in Australia to join our Advice Services team on a non-ongoing or temporary basis.
As an Advice Services Officer in the ACNC, excellent customer service is central to everything you do. You will be integral in assisting charities to meet their obligations, so they can focus on their work, and support the public to better understand the charitable sector.
You will be trained to help charities understand their obligations to the ACNC. You will work on a range of projects, which will improve the data integrity of the ACNC Charity Register and increase charities’ on-time submissions of annual reports.
You will operate in a fast-paced, partially scheduled environment as part of a supportive, flexible, and friendly team. You will participate in training and development activities relating to legislative and organisational change.
