As one of the Australian Government’s central agencies, Finance plays an important role in assisting the government to achieve its objectives in a wide range of policy and program areas. Finance’s role is to help the government shape and deliver its agenda.
We offer a diverse and comprehensive introduction into the public service with twelve months of training and development activities as well as real work. 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).

"The program has given me opportunities to not only undertake a myriad of training sessions, but also allowed me to participate in exercises s of significance to the budget. Learning about the budget and then executing the 2009-10 Federal Budget was absolutely fantastic. The best experience of the program, however, is that you get to meet some really amazing people who are talented and driven to help produce better outcomes for Australian citizens."
