About the Role
At Frasers Property, we create vibrant, connected communities and world-class lifestyle precincts where people thrive.

- Technical Depth: Advanced technical expertise across Australian corporate income tax, tax consolidation, tax-effect accounting, international tax principles, and tax governance frameworks.
