Working conditions

ASIS staff are employed under Section 33 of the Intelligence Services Act 2001 through individual staff contracts with the Director-General. We are not members of the Australian Public Service (APS) although our terms and conditions of employment are generally comparable with those of the APS.

  • We offer our people attractive conditions of service including:

    • a highly-competitive base salary;
    • 22 days annual leave;
    • where possible, flexible working hours (for those below Executive Officer level);
    • salary packaging opportunities;
    • access to a comprehensive superannuation scheme;
    • language proficiency allowance (where an appropriate qualification is obtained/maintained); and
    • studybank opportunities.

    It is a condition of employment that our staff agree - in writing - to uphold the ASIS Values.

  • Probation

    All new ASIS employees will be subject to a probationary period, which for most staff is six months. During this time, your supervisor will monitor your work performance and work with you on areas that may need improvement. Employment following the probationary period will be subject to your maintaining a satisfactory level of work performance and a satisfactory security record during the period of probation.
