Department of the Treasury Reviews

We have broadbanding, where we will move up the classification levels throughout our grad program, as long as we meet the requirements, which are extremely reasonable.

Treasury's role as a government agency is to act in the public interest and it does this not only through its policy work but also in its corporate activities.

The culture in Treasury is very collaborative. There is a major effort to make engaging across different teams an easy and smooth process.

There has been a very big push recently to recruit and retain diverse staff, with a focus on supporting women, minorities and neurodiverse employees.

As an analyst, my role is broad – I can be involved in research, drafting, stakeholder interaction, coordination, and generally supporting the more senior staff in achieving their objectives. As a graduate, I am fortunate to have been able to do a lot of varied work which has let me develop my skills across policy.

Management in Treasury is very engaged with the wellbeing of their staff... good performance is recognised, issues are quickly addressed.

The offices are fine, have everything you need, enough kitchen space and social areas.

The hiring process was quite straightforward – there was an initial skills test and a formal interview.

For a graduate, pay in the Australian Public Service is quite good and it is even more true at Treasury, especially with broadbanding and progression within the graduate program.

The training has been excellent and relates, specifically, to work done at Treasury.

I love the flexibility here, its the perfect balance of being in the office and balancing my personal life.

Treasury maintains strong links with other departments involved in sustainability and is always willing to consider environmental impact in its policy advice to government.
