The Australian High Commission (AHC) in Kiribati is extending the Expressions of Interest process for establishing a temporary employment register to support a range of operational needs throughout 2026. This register will be used to fill short‑term, part‑time, or casual positions as they arise. Eligible applicants may apply for multiple job roles.

We are seeking individuals who may be available to assist across the following job roles.

The High Commission invites individuals who wish to be included on the register to submit an expression of interest (EoI) by return email to [email protected]. Your EoI should be one A4 page maximum and must include:

• Job role(s) you are applying for,
• a summary of your qualifications,
• relevant skills,
• previous work experience, and
• availability.

Extended closing date is COB Friday 24 April 2026 , however at its discretion the AHC may continue to accept EoIs after closing date.

Note that submitting an EoI does not guarantee you will be included on the register. Inclusion on the register does not guarantee a job offer will be made.

Previous applicants to permanent roles need to reapply for these temporary positions.

Any Individuals who are subsequently offered a temporary position must also have the legal right to work in Kiribati. The AHC may be able to support an individual to obtain a suitable work visa, depending upon their current status in Kiribati. Individuals must also be willing to undergo a pre-employment probity assessment, which includes a police check in Kiribati and any other countries of previous residence (if applicable).

Recipients are welcome to share this email with anyone they think may be interested in submitting an EoI.
