Join us to shape the future of one of Australia’s greatest natural assets and protect it for future generations.
The 2026 Murray-Darling Basin (Basin) Plan Review is a once in a decade review of legislated plan for managing the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin. The Basin’s water resources continue to be of national and international importance. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to work with constructively with Basin governments and community stakeholders to ensure that the MDBA’s preparations for the review build genuine collective ownership around the future direction of the Basin.
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is an independent government agency which, in partnership with Basin governments, manages the Murray–Darling Basin’s water resources in the national interest. With the enactment of the Water Act 2007, the MDBA was established as an independent expertise-based statutory agency.
The MDBA aims to achieve a healthy working Basin for the benefit of all Australians. The Murray–Darling Basin contains a rich diversity of natural environments that are unique in Australia and the world. The Basin is also crucial to Australia’s economy and home to 2.3 million Australians, including people from over 40 First Nations. How we manage the Basin as a whole, connected system, manage our water carefully, and protect it for future generations is set out in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.
We are looking for courageous, calm individuals who are keen to test and implement new perspectives, new thinking and new ways of working to deliver the Basin Plan Review. If you like creative and critical thinking, writing with precision and have a strong desire to deliver high profile outcomes in an evidence-based, team environment, then we want to hear from you. There will be some travel opportunities in the Basin, to be in community and discuss our work with stakeholders.
You’ll be a collaborative and experienced policy officer with an understanding of, and demonstrated experience in, water policy, preferably in Murray–Darling Basin policy settings.
We are looking for experience and skills in the following areas:
