Working closely with the Internal Audit Manager, the position supports the delivery of the approved audit plan in accordance with the Internal Audit framework and relevant professional standards.

With over 150 million boardings across all services during FY24/25, our buses, ferries and trains move the people of WA where they need to go now, while the numerous METRONET projects build toward meeting their needs in the future.

Moving millions of people requires the skill and commitment of a talented workforce, one that is fostered by a culture of inclusivity and benefits from its diversity. This is ultimately what ensures the PTA delivers on our purpose while upholding our values every step of the way.
