Night Auditor
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Night Auditor manages overnight front-desk operations, completes end-of-day financial procedures, processes arrivals and departures, balances hotel accounts, prepares reports, and responds to guest requests. Applicants generally need previous hotel reception, night audit, or customer-service experience, strong numerical and computer skills, and confidence using property-management systems. Excellent communication, attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to work independently overnight are expected. The candidate should remain calm during emergencies, follow security procedures, provide welcoming service, and support a smooth handover to the morning team. Availability for overnight, weekend, and public-holiday shifts is essential.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Only Core Skills list jobs (chef, cook, hotel manager) can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423 a year or more; waiters and room attendants are not on the list.
Watch for: The Far North Queensland (Cairns) regional agreement lists waiter, bar and housekeeping supervisors and night auditors, with a pay floor 10% lower.
Official source: Federal Register of Legislation: Core Skills Occupation List for the Skills in Demand visa (Migration (Specification of Occupations, Subclass 482 Visa) Instrument 2024, LIN 24/089, compilation of 7 November 2025). Checked November 2026.
