Payroll Officer - Labour Hire | Mildura – Permanent Part-Time
Experienced in payroll and looking for a role that fits around your life?
MADEC Australia is looking for an experienced Payroll Officer to join our Mildura team on a permanent part-time basis, working three days per week.
This is a hands-on payroll role within a diverse organisation, supporting employees across different programs, employment arrangements and locations.
You'll work with everything from standard employee payroll through to more complex labour hire and PALM workforce requirements.
If you're confident navigating the detail behind a pay run, know your way around Australian payroll requirements and enjoy being the person who can investigate and resolve a discrepancy, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be responsible for
Working closely with our HR and Finance teams, you'll help ensure our employees are paid accurately, compliantly and on time.
Your responsibilities will include:
Processing payroll, adjustments, back pays, allowances and other variations
Reviewing approved timesheets and ensuring hours and conditions are applied correctly
Processing employee commencements, terminations and leave
Applying Awards, EBAs, employment contracts and relevant legislation
Managing complex payroll deductions for PALM workers, including authorised accommodation, transport and other deductions
Reconciling pay runs and investigating discrepancies
Processing superannuation, salary packaging and other employee deductions
Maintaining accurate employee payroll records and entitlements
Responding to payroll queries from employees and managers
Preparing payroll and finance reports and assisting with audit requirements




Supporting payroll reconciliations and ensuring alignment with the General Ledger
Identifying opportunities to strengthen payroll processes, systems and controls
What you'll bring
We're looking for someone with practical payroll experience and a strong understanding of what sits behind the numbers.
You'll ideally have:
Demonstrated experience in end-to-end payroll processing
Sound knowledge of Australian payroll legislation and requirements
Experience interpreting Awards, EBAs and varying employment conditions
Strong reconciliation and problem-solving skills
Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
Confidence working with payroll systems, spreadsheets and financial data
The ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities
Robust communication skills and a helpful, service-focused approach
Experience within labour hire, PALM, seasonal workforces or other complex payroll environments would be particularly valuable but isn't essential.
A relevant qualification in Business Administration, Accounting or a related discipline will be well regarded, or you may bring equivalent payroll experience.
Why MADEC?
MADEC is a national not-for-profit organisation delivering employment, labour hire, education and community programs across Australia.
For this role, you'll have the opportunity to use your payroll expertise in an organisation with genuine complexity and variety – while enjoying the flexibility of a permanent three-day working week.
You'll join a collaborative team, work closely with HR and Finance, and have the opportunity to contribute ideas and improvements rather than simply process transactions.
If you're an experienced payroll professional based in Mildura and a permanent part-time opportunity sounds like the right next move, we'd love to hear from you.
