You will also be encouraged to use and develop your skills working with other graduates on a departmental project. Project topics will be based around health or aged care issues of national importance. This will enable you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge you have acquired, work on a project with your peers, share what you have learned with the group, and present the final project outcomes to senior management. You will be given many opportunities to develop your networks and meet other graduates who have often come from around Australia to start their careers at Health and Aged Care. At the completion of the 12 month training program you will be able to apply for higher level positions within the department.
All promotions are on merit.
As a graduate, you will rotate through three separate areas of the department during your development year to ensure you gain a good understanding of the scope and scale of work available. Your work will be varied.
