Job description

The Department of Treasury and Finance is at the centre of Government decision-making. As the principal economic and financial advisor, we provide leadership and strategic advice and influence to support the delivery of services and outcomes for the benefit of Western Australia.

What we do is integral to the Government’s decision-making processes about where and how to spend taxpayer’s money to ensure Western Australians have access to quality services on a financially sustainable basis.

We lead procurement and leverage our buying power to secure products and services for government, achieving value for money for WA.

We collect revenue to fund government services and administer payment of grants and subsidies to the WA community.

The work area

RevenueWA collects revenue on behalf of the Government and pays grants and subsidies to Western Australians. Although a business unit within DTF, the Commissioner of State Revenue is an independent statutory role and is personally responsible for the administration of State taxation and grant laws by RevenueWA staff. This administrative function covers the application of duties, land tax and payroll tax laws, as well as carrying out compliance audits and investigations, and developing revenue related legislation. RevenueWA increases taxpayer awareness through education programs and manages the legislative appeals process.

• be passionate about sharing knowledge and building capability across the Business Systems and Support team.
• leverage from previous experience in analysis and testing of Information Technology systems to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement and be able to translate ideas into clear requirements.

The Senior Business Analyst is responsible for leading a team of business analysts and system support staff, undertaking complex problem investigations, and developing business requirements and business process documents. The role ensures the effective day-to-day administration of RevenueWA business systems and provides a key integration point between business users and technical resources.

We currently have one (1) permanent full-time position available for filling within the Business Systems and Support team.

This process may be used to fill similar permanent or fixed-term (full time/part time) vacancies that may arise within Treasury and Finance across the WA public sector for up to 12 months. Applicants found suitable but not recommended for this vacancy, may be considered for subsequent or similar vacancies in the Department of Treasury and Finance, in accordance with the Recruitment Standard, including Commissioner’s Instructions No. 48 and 49 .

The Department of Treasury consists of two businesses – Treasury, and Strategic Projects and Asset Sales.

The Treasury business provides economic and financial management and advice to Government. This includes the formulation, implementation and monitoring throughout the year of the State Budget; economic and revenue forecasting; advice and analysis on financial arrangements with the Commonwealth; advice on infrastructure policy and planning; advice on the State’s financial management framework; and management of the Public Ledger.

Strategic Projects and Asset Sales manages the State Government's high-risk infrastructure projects by overseeing major non-residential building projects and pursuing optimum cost, time and quality outcomes.
