AusAID Job Vacancies (Update)

The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) is the Australian Government agency responsible for managing Australia's overseas aid program. AusAID is an Executive Agency within the Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio and reports to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The fundamental purpose of Australian aid is to help people overcome poverty. This also serves Australia’s national interests by promoting stability and prosperity both in our region and beyond. We focus our effort in areas where Australia can make a difference and where our resources can most effectively and efficiently be deployed.

AusAID provides advice and support to the Minister for Foreign Affairs on development policy, and plans and coordinates poverty reduction activities in partnership with developing countries. AusAID leads and coordinates Australia's responses to humanitarian disasters and represents Australia in international development forums.

AusAID is strongly committed to evaluating and improving Australia's aid program and to collecting, analysing and publishing development data and other information. AusAID's head office is in Canberra. AusAID also has representatives in 37 Australian diplomatic missions overseas.

Working for AusAID is challenging and rewarding. Staff in AusAID are responsible for the delivery of the Government's official aid program and work in many different areas such as managing an aid project for a specific country, or developing aid policy for the Agency. Working for AusAID gives you a unique, first-hand insight into the international diplomacy issues affecting developing countries.
