About IPEA
IPEA is an independent Commonwealth statutory authority with advisory, reporting and assurance responsibilities for the work expenses of parliamentarians and their staff.

We successfully deliver our objectives by creating a culture of accountability and transparency in the provision and use of parliamentary work resources. Our approach is to guide Parliamentarians and their staff with the development of tailored education, advice, reporting to assist with compliance and enforcement as appropriate.
IPEA does this by:

• providing advice to parliamentarians and their staff employed under the Members of Parliament (Staff) Act 1984 (MOP(S) Act) on travel expenses and allowances
• monitoring parliamentarians and MOP(S) Act employees regarding travel expenses, allowances, and related expenses
• administering travel expenses, allowances, and related expenses, including processing of these claims
• educating parliamentarians and their staff and raising awareness of the Parliamentary Business Resources framework
• publically reporting on work expenses under the Parliamentary Business Resources framework
• assuring and auditing the use of travel resources
• advising, educating and raising awareness about the Parliamentary Business Resources framework and the principles to consider when making decisions about the use of taxpayer money, and
• assure the Australian public about the efficient, effective, economical and ethical use of taxpayer money.

We are a cohesive and flexible agency, promoting the Australian Public Service (APS) philosophy of one APS career, thousands of opportunities.
We value and employ our team's diverse skills, perspectives and backgrounds to achieve our goals and objectives. We welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, mature-age people, and people with disability, regardless of sex, sexuality, or gender identity.
