2022 Assistant Border Force Officer - Casual and Non-Ongoing (Rolling Intake)

You will receive appropriate training in order to undertake requisite functions, such as passenger clearances. Training is currently 4 weeks in duration and is undertaken on a full time basis. Successful completion of training is a condition of employment.

Irregular and Intermittent Employees (IIEs) are employed with the ABF at the APS2 classification and assist frontline operational teams to meet peaks associated with the movement of people and goods across the border. IIEs are predominantly required to work at international airports to alleviate pressure on existing teams during periods of increased flight departures and arrivals. They are also utilised to work in teams dealing with cruise liners, International Mail and Air Cargo. This includes work undertaken outside of standard business hours.

These roles are frontline roles which require officers to wear the ABF uniform and represent the ABF professionally in the public domain. Officers undertake administrative and operational support duties, as well as passenger processing. Officers must be capable of interacting with members of the community and foreign visitors.

An ABF IIE employee's role within Port Operations Command fits into our operational priorities. These priorities consist of processing travellers, cargo/goods, aircraft, vessels, pleasure craft, stores and crew arriving and departing Australia, including outside metropolitan airports and seaports, such as vessels and small craft at remote seaports and light aircraft at regional airfields.

Managing cargo also extends to mail, postal articles and small parcels through international mail gateways, express delivery facilities and control activities within the supply chain and logistics industries.

If you are found suitable and offered to undertake casual work for the ABF as an IIE, you will be offered work hours on an irregular and intermittent basis in line with our ABF officers. This includes work within standard business hours, work after hours, on weekends, and/or on public holidays. Work hours will be offered intermittently and sometimes at very short notice. We are looking for individuals who are able to regularly and flexibly commute to ABF sites within their locale as needed.
Roles are located in Cairns, Gold Coast and Brisbane
