We recruit a small group of graduates each year. This enables us to provide high quality, tailored support to each incoming graduate. We understand the transition from study to a career can be a challenging one. Many of our graduates relocate from other parts of Australia and, for some, it is also their first experience of living away from home. We work hard to make it as easy as possible and offer a generous travel, accommodation and storage package. We also help you settle into Canberra with plenty of housing, food and recreational recommendations.
The program includes:- an 11-month program designed to build your networks and provide access to senior leaders

- a structured learning and development program to set you up for success
- Access to our internal staff networks and experience coordinating key corporate events including the Department's Christmas Party.
To be eligible for our Graduate Development Program, you must submit a completed application before the closing date and time, and provide evidence or confirmation of the following:
- be an Australian citizen by October 2026
- have completed (at least) an Australian Qualifications Framework Level 7 qualification (a Bachelor Degree), equivalent, or higher equivalent by January 2027
