The RBA is Australia's central Bank and wholly owned by the Australian Government.  Monetary policy is our main responsibility with our Board making policy decisions that aim to achieve low and stable inflation. Stability of the financial system and the safety and efficiency of the payments system are also a high priority for us.

We actively participate in financial markets, manage foreign reserves, issue currency notes, and provide select banking and registry services to Government agencies, overseas banks and institutions.

Our assets which include Australia's holdings of gold and foreign exchange, amounted to around $A85 billion at 30 June 2005.

We provide information including statistics - for example, on interest rates, exchange rates and money and credit growth - and a range of publications on our operations and research including the quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy and the monthly Reserve Bank Bulletin.

Recruiting the very best people is high on our list of organisational strategies. In exchange for your commitment to us we will provide you with an intellectually stimulating and challenging work environment.

We have a vibrant and participative culture and are committed to the professional development of all our staff. We encourage flexibility in the management of our people and understand you have a life outside work.
