Purposeful work with genuinely good people. That’s refreshing.

This role will see you supporting Aus Net’s adherence to its wage compliance obligations by managing its Wage Compliance program, including the execution of Aus Net’s Better Off Overall Test. You will proactively address potential breaches by analysing drivers and indicators, while also providing insights on trends in Payroll and Time & Attendance data to help Aus Net maintain Wage Compliance.

At Aus Net, we’re a team of 1,400 employees who service over 1.5 million Victorians. We own and operate three regulated networks: electricity distribution, gas distribution and the state-wide electricity transmission network.

This role will deliver real outcomes, including but not limited to:

• Execute monthly/quarterly activities within Aus Net’s annual Wage Compliance program.
• Analyse trends in Time & Attendance (T&A) and Payroll records to ensure appropriate entitlements are being claimed/paid.
• Engage with Employees and Leaders to discuss Better Off Overall Test (BOOT) impacts and changes in behaviour where required.
• Execute Aus Net’s BOOT using a calculation engine provided by Wage Safe and validate outcomes to ensure they are a true and accurate representation of actual behaviour.
• Review T&A data and patterns to ensure compliant entry across Aus Net.
• Determine preventative or remediation activity where risks of annualised underpayment are identified.
• Maintain awareness of updates to Awards, Enterprise Agreements or other legislation, to ensure Wage Safe’s calculations remain accurate and additional wage compliance activity is developed as required.
• Support the training of People operational teams and wider Aus Net business, including the development of training material, guides and communications.
• Actively collaborate across the People function to share insights on behaviours observed (impacting wage compliance outcomes), lessons learned, and wins achieved.

You don’t need to check every box; however, we are looking for a good combination of:

You ask smart questions, are curious and improve at pace. Working with others to build on ideas, you have the ability to simplify complexity and continuously test and learn. You consistently deliver great results for our customers and stakeholders with care and pride.

• Understanding of (or capability to learn) how Payroll systems and data operate, with an appreciation for detail in day-to-day work.

• Experience in reviewing large datasets, without pre-defined parameters, to inform meaning and/or action.
• Intermediate to Advanced proficiency in Excel and/or Power BI is beneficial.

A real place to belong.

We celebrate unique voices, refreshing perspectives and diversity in our team. Engage and connect through our social club, family day, wide range of events or by joining one of our Employee Network Groups.


We believe in more than just competitive pay. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Flexibility: whilst we do require attendance up to 3 days a week at our modern offices at Freshwater Place, we do offer hybrid working, flexible hours, or part time arrangements, we’ll work with you to help balance work and life.
