Payroll and HR Administration Officer- Hillview Bunyip Aged Care

Payroll and HR Administration Officer

Supporting Those Who Care-One Pay at a Time

Hillview Bunyip Aged Care is looking for an accurate, detail-focused payroll and HR administration professional to join our small corporate services team for a 12-month fixed term, four days a week.

If you take quiet satisfaction in an accurate payroll, reading an enterprise agreement carefully before answering a question, and keeping HR compliance and administration running smoothly in the background, this is your role.

About Hillview

Hillview Bunyip Aged Care is a community-based, not-for profit, residential aged care home in Bunyip, on the border of West Gippsland and the Cardinia Shire.

Our Finance and Admin team is small, close-knit, and directly connected to the care our residents receive. The work you do here keeps the people who provide that care paid correctly and supported properly.

What you will be doing

• Preparing and processing fortnightly payroll end to end - timesheets, allowances, penalties, overtime, and leave

• Managing payroll compliance and reporting, including superannuation under Payday Super and STP reporting

• Providing rostering support as required, stepping in to build and manage the roster alongside our rostering officer when needed

• Reconciling rostered shifts against actual hours and resolving discrepancies with the rostering team before processing

• Interpreting and applying the GRACE Aged Care Victoria Enterprise Agreement 2025–2028 to pay and entitlement queries, escalating complex matters as needed

• Coordinating onboarding and offboarding administration in Employment Hero, and maintaining accurate employee records

• Maintaining compliance registers (AHPRA, police certificates, vaccinations, mandatory training) and supporting HR compliance reporting under Hillview's obligations as a registered provider under the Aged Care Act 2024

• Being the first point of contact for staff and managers on payroll and HR admin questions

• Supporting general administration and reception tasks as part of Hillview's broader administration team

What you will bring

Essential

• Demonstrated experience processing end-to-end payroll in a 24/7/365 environment

• Experience in aged care, health, or another rostered, shift-based environment

• Confidence interpreting an enterprise agreement or modern award and applying it accurately

• A high level of accuracy and attention to detail, with the discretion to handle confidential information properly

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work reliably to a fixed payroll deadline

• Competence with payroll, and HR systems, and Microsoft Excel

• A calm, helpful manner with staff asking about their pay

• A current National Police Certificate (or willingness to obtain one) and the right to work in Australia

Desirable

• Experience using Employment Hero

• A qualification in payroll, business administration, HR, or bookkeeping

What we offer

• Salary packaging - increase your take-home pay

• Four days a week - genuine work-life balance

• A small, supportive team where your work is visible and genuinely appreciated

• A local role in Bunyip, close to home for candidates across Cardinia and the surrounding towns
