As a Regional Inspector based in Rockhampton, you’ll play a vital frontline role protecting animals while upholding Queensland’s animal welfare legislation.
You’ll manage animal welfare cases end-to-end - from initial investigation through to prosecution where required, working independently across your region while staying closely connected to the broader Inspectorate team. It’s a role that requires sound judgement, resilience and professionalism, particularly when navigating complex, sensitive or high-pressure situations.
This is a highly varied, hands-on role combining on-the-road regional work, investigations, community engagement and admin where no two days are the same. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys getting out on the road, working closely with communities, and being part of meaningful, hands-on work that makes a real difference.
What We’re Looking For
You’re a calm, capable and values-driven professional who can balance empathy with authority. You’re comfortable making decisions, communicating clearly with a wide range of people, and standing your ground when required - always guided by legislation, evidence and animal welfare outcomes. You work well independently, take ownership of your cases, and bring strong written and verbal communication skills to everything you do.
