100,000 temporary jobs

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is getting ready to ensure it has the temporary workforce needed to run the 2022 federal election.

It needs to employ up to 100,000 people in paid jobs around the country.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people from a culturally and linguistically diverse background, are encouraged to apply.

The AEC’s temporary workforce plays an important role not only on election day, but throughout the election period in polling places and counting centres, and in administration and logistics jobs.

No election experience is required and training is provided.

Working at federal elections offers you a great opportunity to earn extra money, contribute to your community and work as part of a team.

Information on roles, pay and conditions can be found at aec.gov.au/electionjobs

Let your friends and family know about the temporary election jobs – there’s roles in cities, regions and remote areas right across Australia.

COVID-19 safety measures will be in place to help protect you at election workplaces.
