Senator Faruqi is seeking a Policy and Parliament Adviser to join her small, highly cooperative team. The team is committed to being a radical voice in politics, pushing boundaries and working closely with grassroots movements in the fight for a more just world. Senator Faruqi represents NSW and holds the Greens’ federal portfolios of tertiary education, anti-racism, animal welfare, international aid and global justice, and the republic.

About the role
As Policy and Parliament Adviser, you will manage the Senator’s parliamentary activity, advise on legislation and lead policy development, working across Senator Faruqi’s portfolios. You will write speeches, briefs and other communications material, and contribute creatively to legislative negotiations, community and stakeholder engagement, and strategy. It’s a busy, but well-supported job, working directly with Senator Faruqi and her Chief of Staff.



With the Greens currently holding Senate balance of power and a federal election due by mid 2028, this is a chance for someone with progressive values, a broad policy skillset and the ability to learn quickly to have a significant impact on current policy and legislative debates while contributing to a better future. If you feel you meet most, but not all, of the selection criteria, please do not be dissuaded from applying. People of culturally diverse backgrounds are actively encouraged to apply. The position will be based in Sydney and requires frequent travel to Canberra when Parliament sits. Please note all employees are expected to sign a confidentiality agreement and code of conduct prior to commencing employment.
