Are you interested in working in ICT in the Australian Government, but don’t know where to start? We offer a unique program for ICT Graduates looking for a challenge who may be interested in applying for several Australian Government agencies.

The Australian Government ICT Graduate Program is open to ICT Graduates who have completed their degree in ICT within the last 7 years.

As an Australian Government ICT Graduate you will receive:

• a competitive starting salary
• an ongoing position with the Australian Government
• a whole-of-government graduate development program
• a post graduate qualification with an ICT focus
• Australian Computer Society membership and events
• networking opportunities across government
• flexible working arrangements
• support from managers and colleagues

To underpin your future ICT career, our program will offer development opportunities to help you transition into the Australian Government and understand the broader ICT work environment. You will also become a graduate member of the Australian Computer Society to help you strengthen your employment credentials, manage your ICT career, gain new skills and keep your knowledge current.

You will also complete a graduate development program and attain a Diploma in Government with a strong ICT focus, including a development opportunity to complete a major ICT project.

How will I stay on track?

You will be offered dedicated support services to ensure your success during the graduate program year. Your workplace supervisor will also guide you in your day-to-day work, answer questions and provide you with advice.
