Join Roy Morgan and be part of a team conducting face-to-face interviews that capture the views, experiences, and behaviours of Australians.

- Record observations, follow safety and privacy protocols, and maintain strict confidentiality

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.
Essentials
- 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
