Achieve Something Great
Join South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) in a meaningful role that directly supports the delivery of safe, high‑quality and person‑centred healthcare to one of NSW’s most diverse communities. As an Internal Auditor, you will play a key part in strengthening governance, risk management and internal controls, contributing to public trust and the long‑term sustainability of the District. Working within a supportive and experienced Internal Audit team, you will collaborate on a broad range of audits — including clinical, operational, information systems and performance reviews — where your work creates visible and impactful outcomes. You will also be part of a values‑driven organisation guided by the Transforming Your Experience strategy, focused on improving experiences for patients, staff and the community.
Are You the Right Fit?
You bring strong attention to detail, a commitment to accuracy and the ability to interpret policies, analyse complex information and deliver high‑quality audit observations. As an effective communicator and active listener, you engage respectfully with staff at all levels and translate technical results into clear, actionable insights. You value integrity, transparency and good governance, and enjoy contributing across varied audit types that extend beyond traditional audit roles. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with Senior Auditors and Internal Audit leadership while managing your own workload and milestones. You hold relevant tertiary qualifications and are a current or aspiring member of IIA, CPA, CA or ISACA, with a commitment to ongoing learning and adherence to standards including GIAS, ISACA Standards, Australian Auditing Standards and NSQHS Standards. Confident in using Microsoft Excel, Word and process‑mapping tools, you can interpret legislation and NSW Health policy frameworks, and you are able to work standard business hours (with flexible arrangements available) and hold or can obtain a valid NSW C‑class driver licence.
