Working flexibly

At the Audit Office we don’t just talk about work-life balance, we actually do it!

We have a culture of looking after each other. Our deadlines can mean that some months are extremely busy, and it’s all hands on deck to get the job done. Things can get a little crazy when you’re auditing the entire NSW public sector! It’s worth it though – we give you flexibility at less busy times of the year to balance things out.

Staff can also request flexible working arrangements to pursue interests and commitments outside of work. We offer a range of options such as part-time work, a compressed working week, job sharing, career breaks, paid parental leave, study leave, and leave without pay.

We understand that sometimes we need our people to be flexible, and in return we offer the same consideration.

Our standard way of working requires you to work at least 50% of contracted hours from either our head office, an auditee location, or a related worksite. If required, you can balance your attendance on-site over a month, with a minimum of one day per week in one of these locations. 

Your days will be different.  One day you might be at an external stakeholder site or attending training at an off-site location. Another day you might be in the office with some colleagues connecting with your team and working collaboratively to sort out a particular problem. Other days, you could be working at your home residence, so you can have the focused environment you need to get the task at hand done. Our flexible approach to work means you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds when you join the Audit Office.
