Administrative duties for the team

I have had great opportunities to contribute to my team's work and learn about the area of the NSW Government I am in. I am currently in my first rotation. I have been able to write a report, review content we receive, write emails, monitor our team inbox, lead meetings and debrief sessions, give a presentation, and write presentations and emails for the Director.

I coordinate meetings with program leads, and pick up any tasks that are given to me.

Assist with various projects under the Consumer Marketing focus, helping out on various projects and getting to know the organisation quite well.

Mostly getting raw data from other staff members and manipulating it and then creating reports.

Day-to-day responsibilities include reviewing policy and drafting instructions from various Departments across the NSW Government, having calls with instructors to discuss projects, document management and drafting of legislative instruments.

Current role is to support my manager, and some team members on the projects they are currently running. This can range from research, and recording consultations, to running small scale projects with supervision and input from my manager.

The work is undemanding with respect to skill levels. Day-to-day responsibilities are often difficult to undertake due to slow response times from coworkers.

Some days are busy but most are quite quiet

I am a graduate within the Performance, Experience & Communication division of an agency. The content is broad because we work across all of the individual delivery groups, and we use cutting edge design thinking tools and mindsets to frame and address business problems. This includes lots of workshopping, gathering and analysing customer (internal) data and presenting it back.
