**ABOUT THE TEAM**

The Assurance Reviews Unit is the team responsible for commissioning and coordinating Cabinet-mandated Assurance Reviews (Gateway Reviews and Implementation Readiness Assessments). Assurance Reviews are in place to strengthen the oversight and governance of major projects and programs and assist Commonwealth agencies to deliver major projects and programs successfully.

Assurance Reviews are short, intensive reviews, conducted by a team of independent Assurance Reviewers at critical points during a project’s or program’s lifecycle. The reviews provide an arm’s length assessment of the project/program against its specified objectives, and early identification of areas requiring corrective action. For clarity, please note the positions being advertised do not involve performing the work of an Assurance Reviewer.
