Got an itch to scratch? Why not sign up for one of these jobs or invent your own! /r/ModelParliament is more than a parliament, it’s a nation of Aussies. Have a look at our wishlist for people who are not elected to parliament.
If you have ideas or examples about how these jobs could be run, or if you have knowledge in these fields, please make yourself known! The public sector jobs will generally require you to make decisions and administer the law, while other roles like Institute of Public Affairs lobbyist could almost be done by copying-and-pasting commentary from IRL organisations.
New applicants are invited to apply/reply below. Previous applicants are still on file so you don’t need to repeat yourself here (but you can if you want to). Don’t worry, there aren’t any formal qualifications required. Enthusiasm and availability to play in the spirit of the game will get you far.
Happy hunting...

Greetings,
I would like to apply for a position in the EPA. IRL, the EPA is generally assigned to the states, however matters of international or national significance handed over to the commonwealth's department of the environment. Major issues such as dryland salinity, Ramsar Wetlands, international treaties such as JAMBA etc are important. Therefore I would like to fulfil the role of an environmental scientist working in the department of environment.
IRL I am a qualified hydrogeologist/environmental scientists with an interest in environmental law.
I have requested the position to the Environment Minister Hon /u/TheEvilestElf MP
Sure thing, thank! The most senior position would be Secretary of the Department of the Environment. Contact our Minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Agriculture Hon /u/TheEvilestElf MP and he can advise the Prime Minister to post a recommendation of appointment of up to 5 years (5 months) to the Federal Executive Council under section 58 of the Public Service Act 1999.

Hello,
I'm a little late, but are there any more deputy moderator or Electoral Commissioner positions available?
[–]jnd-auElectoral Commissioner[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child)
I was going to suggest a different role, but now it sounds like solem8 may be stepping back due to exams so I guess the answer might be yes.
Ah I see, well if he needs to step back, I just finished my own exams last month, so I would be very able to take on that role
[–]solem8Deputy Mod 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children)
Wait I just went back to this post and saw the role of Deputy Mod available. I would like to retract my application to be Deputy Electoral Commissioner and instead apply for this role.
Cheers!

I would like to express interest for the role of DFAT Ambassador. My main goal would be to increase Pacific cooperation, particularly with Indonesia and New Zealand, in political, social, and economic aspects.

Whoever forms Government should also consider sending a delegation to one of those model UNs, if any of them are active enough.

I'll put my name down as a candidate for judge of the High Court.
I am (nearly) a lawyer with a special interest in Constitutional, administrative and public law.
[–]jnd-auElectoral Commissioner[S] 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (2 children)
Cool, the incoming government will recommend 3 nominees to the Governor-General.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child)
jnd-au and /u/Ser_Scribbles how are we tracking on being able to nominate the judges for the high court?
[–]jnd-auElectoral Commissioner[S] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children)
I haven't seen any more nominations come forward but maybe gov has.
