Our exciting and unique graduate program has ranked in the Top Graduate Employers 4 of the past 5 years.
Our 18-month graduate program is intended for those beginning their career and is therefore designed for those with limited work experience. It aims to build the skills, experience and networks required for a successful career in the public sector. A customised rotational plan exposes our graduates to a range of opportunities across the public sector. Initial employment is on a fixed basis with the provision for permanent appointment following successful completion of the first 12-months.
Our interagency program is a great way to kick-start your career in the public sector, but don't take our word for it, hear from some of our previous grads.
