What we do

The Victorian Auditor-General's Office (VAGO) is part of Victoria's integrity system. We conduct audits and reviews to ensure that public sector entities are transparent and accountable to the Victorian Parliament and the communities they serve.

The Parliamentary Reports and Services Division of VAGO conducts audits and reviews of public sector entities for and on behalf of Parliament. Our people are committed to informing Parliament and the community about the performance of the public sector and how to improve public services.

There are around 70 staff in the Division, bringing together the areas of strategic audit planning, performance audit, data science, and communications and publishing.

Who we are looking for

We have an opportunity within our Parliamentary Reports and Services (PRS) division for a talented Project Editor.

Project Editors use their expert knowledge of plain English, grammar and punctuation, and information design to support our engagement teams to produce impactful, engaging reports and digital content.

Our Project Editors are nimble, collaborative problem-solvers who expertly move content through each stage of the publishing process. They recognise clear, concise, well-written and grammatically correct content when they see it and know how to coach others to produce it. They are able to adapt to shifting priorities when working in demanding environments during peak publishing times.

You can work flexibly from home or any other location in Australia, and we provide you with a comprehensive best-practice office set-up for your home. When you work in the office at 35 Collins St, you'll find an energy-efficient space in a city centre location with great views, activity-based working zones, secure bike storage, change rooms, lockers and easy access to transport and parking.  

   

Part-time and job share arrangements will be considered.
