Our participants, Our people, Our purpose

Currently, there are around 4.3 million Australians with a disability. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) implements the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which is one of the biggest social reforms in the country since Medicare. As an Agency, we support more than 646,000 participants with a significant and permanent disability, and the families and carers of those living with disability. For many Australians, this will be the first time they receive the disability support they need. The NDIA is designed to enhance the quality of life and increase economic and social participation for people with disability and will mean peace of mind for every Australian.

A new role awaits

The NDIA Graduate Program (NDIA GP) has been designed to integrate graduates into the NDIA and the Australian Public Service (APS). It provides graduates with a structured learning and development program, and meaningful on-the-job-experience across a range of NDIA business areas.

The NDIA GP is a 12-month entry-level program. It includes a range of opportunities focused on developing a graduate's skills, capabilities, and experiences to work effectively and contribute to a high-performing Agency and broader APS.

The NDIA GP includes:
  • a curriculum-based development program delivered by the APS Academy, Australian Public Service Commission (APSC), which aligns with the six APS Crafts and APS Work Level Standards and is integrated within the 12-month NDIA GP
  • Graduate rotations are short-termplacements (generally of four to six month duration) within various business areas across the Agency
  • access to mentoring through the NDIA GP Mentoring Program
  • access to coaching and career planning that is targeted to a graduate's professional field and goals through the APS GDP
  • opportunities to build strong professional networks at the Agency and within the APS
  • an accelerated career pathway and salary progression from APS4.1 pay point on commencement to APS5.1 pay point upon successful completion of the NDIA GP.
The NDIA GP aims to develop graduates':
  • future organisational and leadership capability through on-the-job work experience
  • knowledge, skills, and understanding of the NDIA, its overall business, and the NDIS
  • professional networks throughout the Agency and APS.
2026 NDIA Graduate Program

The 2026 NDIA GP is seeking graduates who are passionate and committed to the NDIAs purpose. People who enjoy working as part of a diverse, high-performing team.

We want our staff to reflect the community we serve. If you have a disability, come from a culturally and linguistically diverse background, or identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, we want to hear from you.

  • actuarial
  • allied health
  • behavioural science and psychology
  • business and commerce
  • computer science, ICT, cyber security, software development
