We are Australia's frontline border law enforcement agency and customs service. We are an operationally independent body within the Home Affairs Portfolio. Our mission is to protect Australia's border and enable legitimate travel and trade.
Our vision is to be a global leader in border law enforcement and trusted partner that helps build a safe, secure and prosperous Australia.

Policy and regulatory frameworks to facilitate the movement of travellers and goods across our borders, supporting Australia's economy and security.
About the role:
Irregular and Intermittent Employees (IIEs) are casual employees contracted to the ABF at the APS2 classification to assist frontline operational teams to meet peaks associated with the movement of people and goods across the border. IIEs are predominantly required to work at international airports and cruise ship terminals to supplement existing teams during periods of increased departures and arrivals. They are also utilised to work across a wide range of ABF domains including airports, seaports, mail centres, cargo facilities, district offices, and Immigration Detention Facilities. Tasks include processing passengers and crew, data entry, claim processing, evidence storage and handling and administrative support.
These roles are frontline roles which require officers to wear the ABF uniform and represent the ABF professionally in the public domain. Officers undertake administrative and operational support duties, as well as passenger processing. Officers must be capable of interacting with members of the community and foreign visitors.
