About the Parliamentary Budget OfficeThe Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) was established in 2012 to inform the Parliament by providing independent and non partisan analysis of the budget cycle, fiscal policy and the financial implications of proposals.
We do this in 3 main ways:
- responding to requests made by senators and members for costings of policy proposals or for analysis of matters
- relating to the Australian Government's budget
- publishing a report after every election that provides transparency around the fiscal impact of the election commitments of major parties
- conducting and publishing self-initiated work, including interactive tools, that enhance public understanding of budget and fiscal policy settings.

The PBO actively encourages applications from: - people with a disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people from linguistically diverse backgrounds
- candidates with experience in the private sector, especially with a consulting background
- candidates with public policy experience, including analysis and advice

The PBO has an 'if not why not' approach to flexible work, with all staff able to work flexibly, including access to regular home-based work. Internal and external opportunities for learning and development are promoted, including access to studies assistance to undertake training which directly relates to the PBO's functions and helps staff reach their career development goals.
