We are looking for people with exceptional integrity, sound judgement and a curious, analytical mindset. If you enjoy asking questions, investigating complex issues, evaluating evidence and turning insights into clear, compelling reports, we would like to hear from you.

We welcome applicants from a wide range of professional, educational and lived backgrounds. Comprehensive on-the-job training will help you develop the specialist skills needed to succeed in the role.

As part of our team, you will work on audits that examine some of the ACT Government’s most significant programmes, services and public investments.
