Who we are

At the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF), we’re building a world-class Treasury for South Australia – it’s about the people and the impact we create together.

We’re South Australia’s lead agency for economic, digital and financial policy outcomes. Our work touches every corner of the state, from enabling frontline services to driving digital transformation. And we do it all with one purpose: to make life better for the people who call South Australia home.

The Government’s primary financial management system Masterpiece, used by most SA Government agencies excluding SA Health, is over 30 years old and nearing the end of its service life. The Finance Reform Program is leading a major initiative to replace it with Oracle Fusion and implement best practice processes. This transformation will significantly change how finance functions are performed across agencies and affect a wide range of stakeholders, including finance, ICT, and operations teams.

• Evaluate training effectiveness and continuously improve learning approaches.

• Contribute to broader program activities including readiness, testing, transition and post go-live support.

Remuneration

ASO7 ($116,089 - $125,490 p.a.) + 12% Superannuation

What you bring
