I wanted to work for NSW Treasury because I saw that it offered a massively broad range of interesting and relevant work.

It’s really rewarding knowing the things you are working on will be used to shape the future education systems of Australia.

What I love most about my job is that I am given confidence from my team that I can complete even the most daunting and confusing of tasks.
