The business is bringing its payroll function together, and you’ll play a hands-on part in lifting consistency, compliance and efficiency across a national workforce.

The Role

Joining a close-knit Brisbane payroll team that supports staff across several states, you’ll process payroll accurately while helping move the function away from manual ways of working.

Key Responsibilities

• Process payroll for a varied workforce, applying award and agreement conditions accurately and on time
• Run compliance checks and quality reviews to strengthen accuracy and reduce risk
• Manage a shared payroll inbox, resolving queries from managers and employees with clear, professional written responses
• Work with colleagues across multiple locations to standardise processes and move from manual workflows to streamlined ones
• Contribute to documenting procedures, sharing knowledge and developing payroll capability within the team

About You

• Proven experience in a payroll officer or similar role, with strong knowledge of awards and payroll compliance
• A process-driven mindset with a sharp eye for detail and accuracy
• Experience in a 24/7, shift-based or healthcare-style environment highly regarded
• Confident written communicator who is comfortable supporting stakeholders through a shared inbox
• Adaptable and positive about working through change and improving how things are done

What’s on Offer

• Permanent full-time role in Brisbane's western suburbs
• Two days working from home each week, with flexible start times
• Competitive salary
• Hands-on involvement in shaping a payroll function as it evolves
• Supportive, collaborative team with real scope to develop your skills
