Join Roy Morgan and be part of a team conducting face-to-face interviews that capture the views, experiences, and behaviours of Australians. Our Field Research Officers play a vital role in collecting accurate, high-quality data that informs government, business, and community decisions across the country.

What you'll do

  • Visit assigned households and confidently initiate conversations at the door
  • Build rapport quickly, manage refusals and objections respectfully, and ensure informed consent
  • Conduct accurate, structured interviews on a wide range of topics
  • Record observations, follow safety and privacy protocols, and maintain strict confidentiality
  • Plan your weekly schedule to meet agreed hours, including at least one weekend day

All interviews are conducted using Roy Morgan's secure systems. We provide full training, a clear field manual, and ongoing support from experienced field managers.

Who is best suited for this role

  • Resilient relationship-builder : You bounce back from a "no," stay friendly and professional, and try the next door with the same energy.
  • Empathetic communicator : You listen well, handle sensitive topics with care, and adapt your style to suit different households.
  • Organised self-starter : You manage your time, plan routes, keep tidy records, and meet targets without constant supervision.
  • Tech-comfortable : You're confident with tablets and following on-screen scripts / protocols.

    • Nice-to-have : experience in field interviewing, door-to-door outreach, call centre / customer service, community work, or education services.

    Why you should apply

  • Purpose with impact : Your work will contribute to vital data that supports decision-making at the highest levels.
  • Flexibility with structure : Choose your weekly schedule (with minimum hours) and work close to home where possible.
  • Training & support : We equip you with the skills, tools and guidance to succeed—no previous research experience required.
  • Professional standards : Be part of a respected team known for quality, accuracy and confidentiality.
  • Availability of 20+ hours per week (including one weekend day; flexibility to add hours at peak times)
  • Current driver's licence and a reliable, registered vehicle
  • Fluent English (spoken and written) and the legal right to work in Australia
  • Willingness to obtain a National Police Check and Working with Children\'s Check (paid by Roy Morgan)
