Who we are
The Digital Public Sector Graduate Program is delivered by the Office of Digital Government. We’re part of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and are responsible for leading, supporting and coordinating the digital transformation of the WA public sector.
Digital transformation is fundamental to a modern and effective public sector. It enables WA Government agencies to change the way they work and reorient their services and processes around the needs of people and businesses – rather than the structures of government.
About our program
A number of WA’s largest government agencies have joined forces to drive digital transformation through the unique Digital Public Sector Graduate Program. This program gives you the chance to gain invaluable experience rotating across up to 3 agencies. What’s better than one graduate program? Three in one!
As a Digital Public Sector Graduate Officer, you:
- work on a range of statewide projects and initiatives while solving some of WA’s most complex digital challenges
- join forces with government agencies delivering vital community services, gaining valuable insights, skills and experience through the unique rotational structure
- be at the forefront of public sector digital transformation, using cutting edge technologies to tackle the state’s digital priorities.
The 2026 program is recruiting for 4 specialised streams:
- Cyber Security
- Data Science
- ICT Operations
- Geospatial Information Services
Driving innovation and impact, the program actively recruits top tier STEM graduates (49 to date) and has partnered with 17 government agencies since launching in 2024. Each year is unique as program size is determined by agency requirements within the sector.
Don't take our word for it, see for yourself.
