Join Roy Morgan and be part of a team conducting face-to-face interviews that capture the views, experiences, and behaviours of Australians. Our Field Research Officers play a vital role in collecting accurate, high-quality data that informs government, business, and community decisions across the country.

What you’ll do

• Visit assigned households and confidently initiate conversations at the door
• Build rapport quickly, manage refusals and objections respectfully, and ensure informed consent
• Conduct accurate, structured interviews on a wide range of topics
• Record observations, follow safety and privacy protocols, and maintain strict confidentiality
• Plan your weekly schedule to meet agreed hours, including at least one weekend day

All interviews are conducted using Roy Morgan’s secure systems. We provide full training, a clear field manual, and ongoing support from experienced field managers.

Who is best suited for this role

• Organised self-starter: You manage your time, plan routes, keep tidy records, and meet targets without constant supervision.
• Tech-comfortable: You’re confident with tablets and following on-screen scripts/protocols.

Nice-to-have: experience in field interviewing, door-to-door outreach, call centre/customer service, community work, or education services.

• Purpose with impact: Your work will contribute to vital data that supports decision-making at the highest levels.
• Flexibility with structure: Choose your weekly schedule (with minimum hours) and work close to home where possible.
• Training & support: We equip you with the skills, tools and guidance to succeed—no previous research experience required.
• Professional standards: Be part of a respected team known for quality, accuracy and confidentiality.
