OCRT Consulting is a sovereign, veteran-owned Australian SME delivering professional services across Defence, Government and national security. We’re looking for experienced change and communications professionals to support a Federal Government client on a major, multi-year digital transformation program.

The opportunity:

You’ll join the change function of a large program modernising critical government systems, helping the client realise its business, operational and workforce outcomes. We’re seeking candidates across two role types:

- Change Management Lead: lead change strategy, stakeholder engagement, communications, readiness, adoption and transition planning across the program
- Change Analyst / Communications Specialist: support change impact assessment, readiness tracking, communications, training coordination, stakeholder engagement and adoption activities

Across both roles, you’ll prepare internal teams and external users for significant system and regulatory change, working closely with product, delivery, legal, data and engineering teams to make sure change is integrated with delivery. Building the client’s own change capability is a core part of every role, through reusable artefacts, coaching and knowledge transfer.

24-month engagement starting in January 2027, with options to extend.

What we’re looking for:





- Relevant change management or communications experience on large technology or regulatory transformation programs (seniority will vary by role)
- Demonstrated experience in change impact assessment, readiness, communications and training coordination
- A track record of measurable adoption outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to engage with senior APS stakeholders, operational teams and external user groups
- Experience building client change capability and leaving behind sustainable artefacts and practices
- Change management certification (e.g. Prosci, APMG Change Management) - highly regarded
- Experience with regulatory or legislative change affecting businesses or the public - highly regarded
- Experience in agile or iterative delivery environments - highly regarded
