What you'll do:

You'll be part of a collaborative finance team, working across varied tasks that build your technical skills and broaden your understanding of financial operations in a government context.

What we're looking for:

  • A relevant tertiary qualification (or completion by mid-2026)
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
  • An eagerness to learn, adapt, and take on new challenges
