Our jobs
We recognise the need for Aboriginal employees to be employed in areas that deliver services to Aboriginal people, and their capacity to contribute to creating respectful and culturally safe workplaces.
Whilst our focus is on attracting, retaining, supporting and progressing the employment of Aboriginal employees, we also recognises the important role that the Tasmanian State Service can have in providing opportunities for Aboriginal employees to gain transferable skills and experiences to progress career options both within and outside of the State Service.
Our Aboriginal Employment Strategy introduces an aspiration target to increase the number of Aboriginal employees working with us to 3.5% by 2022.
We have over 30,000 employees who work across more than 200 diverse roles across our State Service agencies.
We offer ongoing (permanent) employment wherever possible, and also have a range of shorter term opportunities (fixed-term and casual) to fill jobs for a specified term or to do a specific task.
Our jobs are both full-time and part-time and as a diverse and inclusive employer, we understand the importance of flexible working arrangements.
