“My experience in the graduate program has been positive, fulfilling and challenging. I rotated through three very different areas of the Department and gained exposure to a wide variety of work, ranging from international transfer of prisoners to amendments in witness protection legislation to guidance on the Commonwealth’s role in litigation and the provision of legal services to Government. I participated in threat assessment briefings, in conjunction with ASIO, in each capital city in Australia and, through this work, developed a nation-wide network of contacts. I wholeheartedly urge anyone considering applying for the graduate program at the Attorney-General’s Department to do so if you are seeking a diverse, meaningful work, a supportive workplace and an environment that truly places value on work-life balance.”
