About us

The Department of Treasury and Finance provides economic, financial and resource management advice to help the Victorian Government deliver its policies. We strive for excellence in financial and economic management to improve the lives of all Victorians.

The Financial Assets and Liabilities Group (FAL) sits within DTF's Commercial Division. FAL provides advice and reports on the State's financial assets and liabilities and associated financial risks and workplace safety related matters. FAL is made up of three teams, including Balance Sheet Management, Financial Policy and Workplace Safety Reform.

This role is in the Balance Sheet Management team within the FAL Group in the Commercial Division of DTF to support the delivery of Affordable Housing Investment Partnerships (AHIP).

AHIP is a $2.1 billion Victorian Government initiative that makes low interest rate finance and government guarantees available for social and affordable housing projects. You can find out more about AHIP at https://www.vic.gov.au/ahip.

While the Balance Sheet Management team is responsible for implementing AHIP, it is also responsible for managing the State's cash and banking system, funding requirements for State and Government businesses and providing advice to the Treasurer on borrowing and guarantee requests from Government businesses. The team also closely manages relationships with the credit rating agencies that rate the State, monitoring key metrics and advising on implications for the State's fiscal and debt management strategies.
