About ACT Government
ACT is a one-tier city state with its government responsible for both state functions such as health, education, environment and justice as well as local government functions such as roads, libraries and city maintenance. This gives you great mobility, recognition of service and career opportunities that other jurisdictions don’t have.
We aim to maximise your potential!
We achieve outcomes effectively and efficiently by performing as one service, regardless of where we work. We demonstrate a united commitment to the principles of collaboration, innovation, respect and integrity.

Modern workplaces
We issue mobile technologies to support workplace flexibility, whether that’s working outdoors or moving between work settings. These devices also support remote work arrangements, enabling you to work from home or other locations where appropriate. Worker health is very important to us!
Our activity-based environments feature a suit of technologies to support presentations, collaboration and video-conferencing. These environments also provide high quality amenity including:
- large café-style breakout spaces and project hubs; and
- quiet spaces, designed to support focused work.
An inclusive, welcoming culture
There are about 27,000 people working in the ACT Government. We’re big enough to give you career variety but small enough that you’ll get to know your colleagues. We aim to create a workplace environment that values the contribution of people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We believe diversity is important because it builds organisational capability, fosters innovation and contributes to engagement and productivity. A diverse workplace is a richer and more vibrant environment.
