Indigenous Service Officers

Our Indigenous Service Officers help local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities connect with our payments and services.

They work directly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, third party organisations, staff and other government agencies.

What they do

Through community engagement, they establish and maintain culturally informed working relationships to do all the following:

  • promote and improve access to our payments and services
  • build relationships with communities and third party organisations, and across government
  • improve service delivery to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by understanding their needs
  • increase awareness of the agency’s online services for customers and organisations
  • assist customers to connect with services in their area to support their needs
  • provide support and assistance in complex cases
  • help our staff understand cultural practices in servicing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
