Dept of Finance and Deregulation

Our People are our BIGGEST Asset

The Department of Finance and Deregulation (Finance) Graduate Program offers a diverse and comprehensive introduction into the public service with twelve months of training and development activities. This program is developed to equip our new graduates with the skills and knowledge to become high-quality Finance employees and to underpin their future careers within Finance and the Australian Public Service (APS).

Our program addresses four key areas:

  • The work of the Department
  • The way in which the Department operates
  • Working in the Australian Public Service
  • Skills development
  • Career progression
  • Promotions Galore

Finance Graduates can participate in a closed promotion round in August of your graduate year. This process enables graduates who have completed all elements of the program to advance from the APS 3 (starting level) to the APS 4 classification. Finance also conducts a further merit selection process for the APS 5 level in the December of your graduate year.

Having too much fun? Then extend your stay!

Commencing in 2008, an optional Second Year Program will be offered for participants who have completed the Graduate Development Program. This is a great opportunity to further enhance your skills and attributes and prepare you for future leadership roles within the Department. Under the Second Year Program participants are able to secure promotions and continue in the program.

Also commencing in 2008

A Graduate Third Year Program will be available for past graduates wanting to complete a formal qualification in management through the Finance Postgraduate Study Program. This allows Finance’s graduates to start postgraduate study with only two years work experience rather than needing to have three years work experience as per the university’s entrance requirements.
