About our team
Deputy Commissioner Operations | Ac East | Trade & Travel East | Border Clearance ACT, Maritime Operations NSW
Irregular and Intermittent Employees (IIEs) are employed with the ABF as casuals at the APS2 classification and assist frontline operational teams to meet peaks associated with the movement of people and goods across the border.
Casuals are predominantly required to work at international airports to alleviate pressure on existing teams during periods of increased flight departures and arrivals.
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.
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.
