Canberra, Australia The Treasury - Australian Government Full time

Treasury is seeking talented, team-oriented, flexible and highly motivated individuals for multiple Policy Analyst (APS 5 and APS 6 level) positions. The opportunities are available within the Personal and Indirect Tax and Charities Division in the Revenue, Small Business and Housing Group. This is your unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping policy advice and assist in the implementation of Commonwealth Government reforms.

We are seeking applicants with strong analytical frameworks with experience and/or an interest in public policy, including taxation and not-for-profits regulation. You may be an experienced policy analyst seeking a new challenge in a fast paced environment or someone ready to take the next step to develop professionally and expand your horizons.

Staff undertake a range of responsibilities, including:

- Providing advice to Government on public policy issues, including tax policy, and assisting in the preparation of reports, Cabinet submissions, briefing for Ministers and senior officials, and other correspondence; and
- Developing and maintaining productive relationships with other government agencies and with stakeholders in the private sector, industry, and academia.

Positions are available in all three branches of the division.
- **The Personal and Small Business Tax Branch** provides policy advice on tax issues affecting all taxpayers including personal tax rates and thresholds, offsets, capital gains tax, deductions, and the Medicare levy. The Branch also has policy responsibility for small business tax, the R&D tax incentive, trust taxation issues, individual residency issues and fringe benefits tax. Positions will be based in Canberra.
- **The Not-for-profits and Tax Administration Branch** provides advice to government on the regulatory framework for not-for-profit entities, including tax settings, to support a robust not-for-profits sector and to protect public trust and confidence. The Branch also provides policy advice on Australia’s tax architecture and the regulatory framework for entities in the tax administration system (including the ATO, Tax Practitioners Board and Inspector-General of Taxation).
- **The Indirect Tax Branch** provides policy advice relating to the Goods and Services Tax; State Taxes; Fuel, Alcohol and Tobacco Excise; the Wine Equalisation Tax; Luxury Car Tax and Industry Tax Policy, which often involves working with other Departments. More specialised positions are available in the Tax Framework Unit (TFU) of the Branch. TFU brings a longer-term, whole-of-system perspective to major policy issues including focusing on interlinkages between the personal and corporate income tax bases, superannuation, and indirect taxes. It undertakes analysis of medium to longer term trends and tax system pressures with a focus on identifying longer-term efficiency and equity risks to the overall tax system meeting fiscal goals. Qualifications in economics and basic quantitative skills would be viewed favourably for TFU positions as well as a general inquisitiveness and ability to manage ambiguity in navigating system complexity and technical detail.

**To be successful as a Senior Policy Analyst (APS6 level) or Policy Analyst (APS5 level) you will demonstrate**:

- An ability to link the tasks you work on to the strategic objectives of your unit, and to deliver to agreed timeframes;
- Effective communication skills (written and oral) to present messages in a clear and concise manner while seeking to understand your audience and tailor your style and message accordingly;
- An ability to build and maintain positive relationships, working collaboratively and respectfully and ethically at all times;
- Proactive management of your professional development, seeking out opportunities to continue building capability.

**What we offer**
- Good salary, flexible benefits and generous leave provisions allowing our employees to have the time and financial capability to engage with their interests, family and community outside of work.
- On-the-job training and development where you can gain skills which will give you a firm foundation for your future career.
- Gain informal and formal qualifications while you work through further study and programs to assist our employees.
- You can actively engage in an environment that recognises the value of diverse perspectives and experiences in the delivery of the work we do.

**Desirable Qualifications / Experience**

It is highly desirable that applicants have qualifications in a relevant field, including economics, law, finance, business, accounting, or public policy, and have demonstrated experience either in:

- a relevant field such as economics, law, accounting, or taxation (with an interest in public policy); or
- public policy development, with an interest in the tax system.
