Are you passionate about making a difference for Western Australia?
We want to hear from you.
About us
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
This role sits within the Better Regulation Unit in the Economic Reform team which is part of the Economic Policy directorate. The Better Regulation Unit is a small, highly responsive and committed team that works in partnership with agencies to ensure that regulatory decision making is underpinned by an evidence-based understanding of the impacts of regulatory proposals on the WA economy.
The opportunity
Are you passionate about driving best practice regulation across the public sector? We are looking for a motivated person to join us and make a difference for Western Australia. In this role, you will:
work collaboratively and proactively with external stakeholders, including public sector agencies, to promote, lead and drive the Better Regulation Program and enhance engagement across the sector.
assess and evaluate regulatory proposals from public sector agencies to identify whether they are likely to have significant economic impacts and whether advice to the Government adequately captures their likely costs and benefits.
provide high quality advice to public sector agencies on regulatory proposals to ensure the requirements of the Better Regulation Program are being met.
As the Better Regulation Unit sits within the broader Economic Reform team, there will also be the opportunity to contribute to the broader reform work of the Economic Reform team as relevant, including work on National Competition Policy and productivity reforms.
We currently have one (1) permanent full-time position available for filling in the Better Regulation Unit, reporting to the Assistant Director Economic Reform.
