Are you passionate about fostering a positive security culture to enhance Australia’s national security? Do you have an understanding of protective security and risk assessment processes? Are you motivated to train and upskill others in the disciplines of security and security risk management?
If so, you may be the perfect fit for the Security Advisor role in the Defence Security Division’s (DS Division) Directorate of Security Assurance (DoSA).

DoSA directly supports Defence capabilities and operations through the provision of protective security policy, advice and assurance, and validates security practices and measures to protect Defence people, information and assets. DoSA plays a primary role in the certification and accreditation of physical security zones across Defence business areas and external Defence industry company and stakeholder sites, and contributes towards the establishment of governance and policies associated with it.

You will play a crucial role in identifying vulnerabilities, evaluating risks, and implementing effective strategies to safeguard our people, assets and information. No two days at work in DoSA are exactly the same. You will need the ability to think critically, evaluate and analyse, and exercise good judgement.
