About the Department of Defence
The primary role of Defence is to defend Australia and its national interests. In doing so, Defence serves the Government of the day and is accountable to the Commonwealth of Australia, which represents the Australian people to efficiently and effectively carry out the Government’s Defence policy. Australia’s defence policy is founded on the principle of self-reliance in the direct defence of Australia, but with a capacity to do more where there are shared interests with partners and allies.

The Defence section at the Australian Embassy consists of four Australia-based diplomatic staff (A-based) and five Locally Engaged Staff (LES), with a large number of Australian Defence personnel working in the Republic of Korea (ROK). As the Defence relationship between the ROK and Australia grows, the Defence section is supporting an increasing number of projects, visits, exercises, long-term postings and other engagements, and this is expected to grow exponentially.
 
About the position
Under general direction and as an integral part of the Defence team, the Research Officer primarily supports the team to achieve bilateral and multilateral relationship priorities through research, liaison, visits and engagements with ROK government, think tanks and academia.
