About us

We are a dynamic, hardworking team supporting the work of the Legislative Council in the NSW Parliament. This includes supporting the work of the Chamber and the numerous inquiries conducted by parliamentary committees, as well as coordinating events and visiting delegations.

The Department has three parts – the Procedure Office, the Corporate and Bicentenary (Black Rod) Office, and the Committee Office. The advertised roles are based in the Committee and Corporate and Bicentenary (Black Rod) Offices.

Department staff strive to provide exceptional services to our key stakeholders including the President of the Legislative Council, members and their staff, government agencies, participants in committee inquiries, members of the public and visitors to Parliament.

The Legislative Council is committed to improvement and excellence. We offer thorough training, ongoing career development and support, and excellent working conditions, including working from home at times, subject to business needs. Applicants need to bring a passion for the democratic process and an interest in understanding how it works in New South Wales along with a desire to work in an environment where impartiality and integrity are key.
