About the Business Unit
This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a major new initiative for victims of crime. The FAS is a landmark reform that will replace the judicially based Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal with an administrative scheme that prioritises the needs of victims and supports their recovery from violent crime.
The FAS is highly anticipated by victims and stakeholders and represents a major leap forward in the Victorian Government's response to victims of crime. Established under the Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance Scheme) Act 2022 the FAS will provide financial assistance through a simple and easy to navigate process that is fair, sensitive, and responsive to victims' needs. It will acknowledge harm done and be trauma informed, with a priority focus on being inclusive and culturally safe.
Reporting to the FAS Payments and Business Support Manager, you will be responsible for the coordination and approval of financial assistance payments. This includes quality assurance checks, continuous improvement, and contributing to reporting, briefs, funding bids and annual reports.
About the Role

**Duties will include**:

- Coordinate, review and approve financial assistance payments, including future authorised expenses.
- Conduct quality assurance checks to ensure all payment details are accurate, including occasional direct contact with victims.
- Coordinate payment schedules for processing by the departmental central unit payment team.

To learn more about this role before applying, please read the attached position description.

About you

**To be successful in this role, you will have**:

- Experience in high volume processing roles, such as accounts payable functions.
- Ability to create reports, manipulate and analyse data, and critically review and enhance processes within both stable and changing environments (desirable).

**Qualifications**:

- A relevant tertiary qualification or experience in finance, business administration, operations, and/or community services is desirable.
