welfare responses. The DCF also operates within the Domestic and Family Violence Risk Assessment Management Framework (RAMF).

Key duties and responsibilities

and payment performance, ensuring compliance with legislative and policy requirements.

performance monitoring and continuous improvement.
4. Maintain strong financial governance and internal control frameworks, including management of registers, compliance with banking

and credit card requirements, and coordination of internal and external audits.
5. Lead, mentor, and develop a multi‑level finance team, allocating work, monitoring performance, building capability, and delivering

high‑quality shared financial services.
6. Engage proactively with stakeholders and contribute to agency‑wide and interagency initiatives, including system enhancements,

process redesign, policy development, and strategic projects...

1. Demonstrated high‑level knowledge of public sector financial management, or the ability to acquire, including relevant legislation,

Treasurer’s Directions, accounting standards, financial governance frameworks, delegations, and audit requirements.
2. Extensive experience in operational accounting and financial systems, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, ledger

management, reconciliations, and statutory reporting, with strong understanding of integrated government finance systems (e.g. GAS,
CARE/LIFT, Expense8 and related systems).

3. Proven ability to provide authoritative, evidence‑based financial advice to senior executives and stakeholders on complex, non‑routine
accounting, compliance, system, and financial performance matters.

4. Strong leadership and people management capability, with demonstrated experience leading, mentoring and developing a multi‑level
team, managing performance, workloads, and service delivery in a high‑pressure environment.

5. Highly developed analytical, problem‑solving and communication skills, including the ability to interpret complex financial and system
data, identify risks and trends, and clearly convey technical information to non‑financial audiences.

6. Demonstrated capability to lead and drive continuous improvement in financial processes and systems, including systemic issue
resolution, control design, and contribution to cross‑agency projects and change initiatives.

Desirable
1. Relevant qualifications and professional capability, including tertiary qualifications in accounting, finance, or a related discipline.
