Working for NSW is more than just a job. A career in NSW Government is for people who want to make a tangible and lasting difference in our community.
I have a mix of administrative tasks and research tasks. A lot of my administrative tasks arise from legal obligations such as annual reporting requirements or preparation for inspections from oversight bodies. Whenever there are legal issues, I usually research them to find out what the law says, if it can be mitigated, and whether it should be considered a breach of the legislation. I also assist in the development of a new capability that my office is slowly implementing to be available to the rest of the organisation which requires a lot of research and analysis to determine the best ways to move forward, and ways to simplify the process overtime, without being in breach of the relevant legislation.
Heavily dependent on the manager/team you land in. Some rotations only provided low-level admin work and didn't want to bother training me in anything more important when I was only going to be in the team for 6 months. Other rotations I've had great managers who have made an effort to take me away from admin tasks and embed me in the important/impactful work tasks which the team has on hand.
