About the Company
Our client is a people-centred care provider that prides itself on genuine compassion, accountability, and continuous improvement.
They support individuals through flexible, responsive services that respect choice, dignity, and cultural diversity.
The team works collaboratively with participants, families, and carers to deliver care that adapts as needs change, always aiming to make life easier, safer, and more supported.
The culture is inclusive, open, and grounded in doing the right thing, even when things get tough.
About the Role
This is a full-time, 12-month fixed-term maternity leave contract based five days a week out of an office in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
Key Responsibilities
This Payroll Officer role sits in a small, hands-on finance team and takes ownership of payroll across both Australia and a smaller offshore group.
You will manage end-to-end processing for roughly 500 local staff, working across multiple awards and plenty of compliance detail, along with monthly payroll for teams in Qatar and the Philippines.
Most of the workflow runs through Employment Hero and Xero, with regular reporting, reconciliations and close collaboration with HR to keep everything accurate and on time.
There is steady support from the Finance Manager and an Accounts Assistant, but this role suits someone who is confident running the function day-to-day and keeping the numbers clean.
About You
You're an experienced Payroll Officer comfortable working across award-based environments, ideally with exposure to NDIS, aged care, or health.
You know your way around Xero and Employment Hero, have a solid handle on tax, PAYG and super, and you're confident managing large casual workforces and tricky rates.
You're organised, good with spreadsheets, and calm when things get busy.
A relevant qualification and strong communication skills will help you work closely with finance, HR, and frontline teams, and you bring a professional, ethical approach to compliance, accuracy and confidentiality.
You're someone who takes ownership of your work, adapts quickly, and contributes positively to a team that values care, honesty and continuous improvement.
