GRC Analyst Market Demand in Australia
Hiring outlook, remote working rates, and which companies are actively recruiting.
GRC Analyst hiring in Australia is growing, driven by APRA's CPS 234 information security prudential standard and the Privacy Act reform pushing banks and insurers to formalise risk registers and control testing that were previously handled informally. Demand is concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne, where Commonwealth Bank and QBE Insurance are among the more consistent hirers, and the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa route has made it easier for employers to bring in ServiceNow GRC and ISO 27001 specialists as the domestic pipeline of experienced analysts stays thin.
