Azooa is a delivery-led digital consultancy supporting Australian Federal Government agencies to unlock real, measurable value from modern Microsoft platforms. We specialise in highly governed, security-conscious environments, where delivery quality, sustainability, and value-for-money matter.

We are currently seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from an experienced SharePoint & Document Intelligence Specialist to support a Microsoft 365 E5 Capability Uplift initiative for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).
