About the role

The most rewarding part of this work is seeing high-level fraudsters being exposed and facing justice after stealing millions of dollars in government funds that had been intended for Australia’s most vulnerable people. The most challenging part of this work is unravelling the offences that have occurred, often over many years. The most interesting part of this work is working together with partner agencies, both within Australia and abroad, to stay a step ahead of criminals.
