The  Treasurer of Australia (or Federal Treasurer) is a high ranking offical and senior minister of the Crown in the Government of Australia who is the head of the Ministry of the Treasury which is responsible for government expenditure and for collecting revenue.
 The Treasurer plays a key role in the economic policy of the government.
The current Australian Treasurer is Josh Frydenberg whose term began on 24 August 2018.

According to constitutional convention, the Treasurer is always a member of the Parliament of Australia with a seat in the House of Representatives.
