Jobs at Parliamentary Budget Office

The Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) supports the Parliament by providing independent and non-partisan analysis of the budget cycle, fiscal policy and the fiscal implications of proposals.

We do this in 3 main ways:

1. 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.
2. Publishing a report after every election that provides transparency around the fiscal impact of the election commitments of major parties.
3. Conducting and publishing self-initiated work, including interactive tools, that enhance public understanding of budget and fiscal policy settings.
