Exciting opportunity for talented, outcome-focussed people to join the Department’s New Metro Facility project.

About us

At the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) we work to protect the sustainability of natural resources and accelerate ongoing economic growth, job creation and regional development.

Western Australia’s primary industries – including agriculture, commercial fisheries and aquaculture – provide jobs and exports and underpin a growing food industry and other agribusinesses. Our fisheries also support a thriving recreational fishing sector and regional tourism.

An important part of our role is to support the growth of strong regional communities that are desirable places to live, work and invest.

About the opportunity

The McGowan Government has committed $320 million for new world-class biosecurity and research facilities to protect and grow Western Australia’s primary industries for future generations.

A new metropolitan facility for the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development will be built on Murdoch University’s Perth campus, featuring modern laboratory and technical workspaces for about 350 staff.

This is a once-in-a-generation investment which will serve Western Australia and our primary industries for many decades to come. This will be a modern facility delivering world-class science, which will strengthen our biosecurity capability and access to valuable export markets into the future. It will help to keep WA’s farmers at the cutting edge of science, backing their important contribution to our State.
