At ASD, your ongoing learning and development is essential to us. We will support you with on the job training and can provide opportunities to attend courses and conferences so you can get the skills for a diverse and rewarding career.

You will work in multi-disciplinary teams and learn to use a wide range of systems. We encourage you to ask questions, find innovative solutions and look for new ways of doing things.

Flexible working

Our people bring their best to work each day, and we understand this requires a healthy work-life balance. Flexible work at ASD is more than just working from home. With us, you can explore compressed work weeks, part-time hours and even flexible start times.

Flexible work agreements are unique to each individual, and take the needs of your role, your team and your personal life into consideration. At ASD, a lot of what we do can’t be done anywhere else, so the level of flexibility will largely depend on the type of work you will do.

Employment conditions and salary

We offer competitive salaries and great conditions of employment. A detailed summary of employment conditions can be found in our ASD Employment Determination 2024 (PDF).

Working for ASD as part of Australia’s intelligence community requires our employees to adopt security measures that go beyond many other Australian Public Service or Commonwealth employers. For that reason, ASD employees receive an additional allowance of 4% on top of substantive salary. This allowance is superannuable. Salary information is available in the ASD Non-SES Salary Scales (PDF).
