Job description

Lead the review and remediation of Overseas Conditions of Service allowances and a Long Service Leave audit.

Join a high-performing Commonwealth environment where precision, integrity and impact matter every day.

This is a workplace built on trust, professionalism and continuous improvement, where people are encouraged to think critically, challenge constructively and take pride in work that genuinely strengthens public sector accountability.

You’ll be part of a culture that values technical excellence and collaboration in equal measure, with strong support for specialist capability and the autonomy to do your best work.

If you enjoy meaningful work where detail really counts, this is the kind of environment where your expertise will be genuinely respected.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to contribute their specialist expertise to an important and highly focused piece of work.

Working within the People Team, you will support detailed payroll assurance activities, with a particular focus on the remediation of Overseas Conditions of Service allowances and a Long Service Leave audit.

This is not a business-as-usual payroll role, you will be applying your technical knowledge and analytical capability to investigate historical payroll information, validate employee entitlements and identify discrepancies requiring further action.

For someone who enjoys solving complex payroll problems, getting into the detail and seeing work through to a clear outcome, this role offers the opportunity to make a genuine contribution while working on specialised and time-critical assurance activities.

The Role

This role is hands-on and technical, focused on reviewing payroll records and resolving entitlement discrepancies.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Reviewing payroll records relating to Overseas Conditions of Service allowances and Long Service Leave
  • Validating entitlements and leave balances against policy and legislative requirements
  • Identifying and documenting instances of overpayment or underpayment
  • Preparing clear, well-evidenced assessment reports to support remediation decisions
  • Supporting remediation activity in accordance with Commonwealth payroll obligations

The Ideal Person

You will be an experienced payroll professional with strong technical knowledge and a demonstrated background in payroll audit, assurance and reconciliation.

You will be comfortable navigating complex payroll records, interpreting conditions of employment and validating employee entitlements.

You will bring a sound understanding of payroll legislation, employment conditions, leave provisions and employee entitlements, together with experience using Aurion or a comparable payroll system.

You will be analytical, thorough and comfortable working independently on detailed and time-sensitive activities.

You will also understand the importance of confidentiality and bring the judgement and professionalism required when working with sensitive employee information.

This role will suit someone who enjoys getting to the bottom of complex payroll issues and applying their expertise to work where accuracy, evidence and sound documentation genuinely matter.
