Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) Intelligence Professionals - Canberra

Australia's protection begins with our Intelligence Professionals.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) is seeking talented Australians to help collect information, connect the dots and play a crucial role in providing advice to government on matters of national security.

Intelligence Officers

Intelligence Officers have the opportunity to develop a diverse career in both operational and analytical areas across ASIO. Whilst working in operational areas, Intelligence Officers often meet with members of different communities to mitigate security threats, while also building ongoing confidential relationships with people to assist us in achieving our security intelligence mission. Intelligence Officers also undertake postings in analytical roles.

You will need to be able to develop collaborative partnerships, have a well-developed analytical ability to assess information to produce security intelligence, provide regular written and verbal briefings and advice to a range of stakeholders across government.

Following successful completion of our 12 month training held in Canberra, Intelligence Officers participate in three to five year role postings where they may move between analytical and operational roles as well as between various ASIO offices around Australia, as determined by organisational requirements.

If you enjoy a varied role, have good judgement, are comfortable engaging with people from all walks of life, and interested in a career in intelligence and national security, we encourage you to apply.

Intelligence Analysts

As an Intelligence Analyst you will have the opportunity to develop a diverse career across a range of specialised analytical areas. You will identify and investigate patterns and anomalies, draw intelligence value from large data sets, solve complex problems and produce high quality advice for government. You will drive ASIO investigations, undertake research, make assessments and develop in-depth knowledge of specific issues.

Intelligence Analysts will apply best-practice analytical tradecraft together with subject area expertise to be able to make decisions on critical issues relevant to national security - often in high tempo environments.

To be successful in this role you will be expected to use your well-developed communication and people skills to work collaboratively in teams, provide high quality advice and form strong working relationships with internal, domestic and foreign partners, clients and stakeholders.

If you are hard-working, resilient and adaptable and you're interested in a career in intelligence and national security, we strongly encourage you to apply.

If you're also interested in the Intelligence Officer role or want to know more, please visit the ASIO website for full details. If you wish to be considered for both roles please submit an Intelligence Officer application only.
