About the Opportunity
The Australian Government Actuary (AGA) program offers a pathway into high‑level actuarial work within a collaborative team that leads the way in modelling and policy support. You’ll contribute to the design, development and application of actuarial analyses across a diverse range of programs, using traditional models and microsimulation approaches informed by data science.
