Treasury, The

Treasury is a central policy agency within the Australian Public Service (APS) and is the government’s premier adviser on economic issues. Our mission is to improve the wellbeing of all Australians by providing quality advice to the government and assisting with the implementation of key policy initiatives.

Treasury monitors and advises on a range of economic issues, but the scope of the work that Treasury is involved in goes beyond economics. Developing crisis management arrangements for banks and other financial institutions, the not-for-profit sector reform, and the production of the Federal Budget are just a few of the many issues that our employees are involved in.

If you have an interest in public policy and are looking for a challenging and rewarding career with the potential to impact the lives of all Australians, then Treasury could be for you. You could find yourself working on economic forecasting, providing advice on effective government spending arrangements, designing tax legislation, or helping to promote competitive and efficient markets to enhance consumer wellbeing.
