There are a limited number of positions within State Offices which are located in every capital city in Australia. These positions are dependent on individual region's need for graduates. All IT graduate positions are in Canberra. You will have the opportunity to nominate where you are interested in working although some of our interstate offices do not participate in the graduate recruitment and development program. The first year is one of development and comprises three rotations in diverse areas of the Department, interspersed with one-week blocks of training.
Graduates have excellent opportunities to develop strong networks within the organisation.
The majority of learning is acquired on the job. The Department has offices at 44 overseas locations and these are filled through a competitive selection process. Employees must have worked in the Department for two years before they are eligible to apply. Many graduates choose to serve overseas. Applications are submitted online from 6 April until 1 June.
