About The 2026 Australian Government Apprenticeship Program: If you are looking for a career change, to re-enter the workforce, or kickstart your career in the Australian Public Service (APS), the Australian Government Apprenticeship Program (AGAP) provides an opportunity to bring diverse work and life experience to the APS. AGAP aims to diversify the APS by offering broader eligibility with no pre-requisite qualifications. This 12-month program offers a learning and development pathway, expanding personal and professional capabilities, while building confidence in a career with the APS. Participants are supported throughout, with opportunities to learn and grow on the job. Coordinated by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR), a single application enables participants to be considered for apprenticeship roles across the APS. More than just a job, this is an opportunity to launch a long-term career with opportunities to learn new skills and advance, including working on issues that matter.

Duties And Responsibilities

As an example, responsibilities at the APS 3 Classification may include the following:

  • Contributing to team goals and participating in teamwork activities. Building and sustaining positive relationships with team members and clients. Responding under direction to changes in client needs and expectations.
  • Setting priorities, completing allocated tasks, making decisions within defined parameters relating to the area of responsibility. Planning own work goals and priorities that align with and achieve own and team outcomes.
  • Working under general supervision and direction against established priorities and procedures. Exercising some autonomy about how work tasks are performed. Making decisions within defined parameters and following established procedures and protocols.
  • Understanding relevant legislation and policy frameworks. Providing advice using established policy and procedures as a guide.
  • Undertaking straightforward tasks which may have an element of complexity. Contributing to the improvement of quality and efficiency of services.
How to Apply

Applications are to be submitted using the department's eRecruit (online recruitment) system.
