Working Environment

We’re dedicated to protecting the security of Australia and we work hard to do so.

The thing about a career with ASIO is you will enjoy the work you do and why you are doing it. You will be working along side like-minded colleagues – those with pride in their work and belief in the Organisation’s mission and values.

We have a very supportive culture. You will always feel part of a team. Many ASIO officers have lengthy careers within the Organisation. Some building careers lasting over 20 years! That’s not bad for an Organisation only 60 years young. Even in today’s society of short-tenured careers, we’re proud to say we have lower than average attrition figures. We think that’s a reflection of the work we do and the people we work with.  

Diversity 

We strongly believe in and support workplace diversity.  Our aim is to have a workforce that reflects Australian society and we encourage people from non-English speaking backgrounds to apply. We are committed to providing an inclusive work environment that allows our staff to work to their full potential.  This is reflected in our Reconciliation Action Plan, which identifies specific action and measurable targets for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous staff to work towards, based on the core themes of Relationships, Respect, Recognition and Review.
