What’s the role?
News Corp Australia is seeking a motivated and proactive HR Advisor to join our collaborative PeopleConnect team. This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career HR professional with Workday experience to step into a business-facing role that supports leaders across the organisation with day-to-day HR guidance and delivery.

You'll work across a broad range of generalist HR activities — from employee lifecycle support and policy advice to performance and development initiatives.

In this role, you will:

• Provide day-to-day support and advice to managers on HR processes, policies, and employee relations matters.
• Partner with HR Centres of Excellence (COEs) and business leaders to support initiatives across performance, engagement, and talent.
• Use Workday to support HR transactions, reporting, and data integrity, acting as a first point of contact for system-related queries.
• Assist with employee lifecycle activities including onboarding, contracts, changes, and exits.
• Participate in project and continuous improvement work across the People & Culture function.

Who are you?

• You have experience in an HR support or coordinator role and are ready to step into a HR Advisor role.
• You are confident using Workday and enjoy helping others navigate HR systems and processes.
• You’re passionate about people, with a strong customer service mindset and a collaborative approach.
• You’re organised, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift.
• You’re eager to learn, grow, and make an impact in a supportive and dynamic team.
