Vacancy Details


The Telecommunications Asbestos Safety Compliance (TASC) programme is a discrete programme within Comcare’s Regulatory Operations Group, dedicated to the rollout[1] of the nbn ™ network.

A significant focus of the programme is risks relating to the removal and handling of Asbestos Containing Material and civil works; however, other risks associated with the rollout are considered and within the scope of the programme.

The aim of the programme is to ensure the highest levels of work health and safety are applied to the rollout of the nbn ™ network through a risk-based, cooperative and proactive approach.

TASC Inspectors undertake work health and safety site inspections and audits. This includes verifying compliance with Commonwealth WHS legislation and Codes of Practice, as part of the nbn ™ network rollout. The Inspector will work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders including Delivery Partners, contractors, health and safety advisors, and other regulators.

The role delivers and assists to drive the provision of timely, high quality services in a nationally consistent, regional service delivery environment. The role requires working as a member of a team, but with a significant degree of autonomy.

All team members are required to comply with relevant legislation, policies and procedures, including the APS Values and APS Code of Conduct.

TASC Inspectors need the ability to undertake intra and interstate travel as required including overnight absences. This is predominantly a field-based position and a current driver’s licence is essential. The role will also require a TASC Inspector to achieve and maintain appointment as an Inspector under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act) and the ability to obtain and maintain a Baseline security clearance.
