What we offer Graduates

Mission Australia offers a variety of challenging opportunities for committed graduates to gain experience in the Community Services sector.  We seek highly motivated graduates for positions such as youth workers, counsellors, child care workers, aged care workers and nurses.   We aim to match a graduate’s discipline and background to the most appropriate Community Service.

As part of the Graduate Program Mission Australia offers:

• A comprehensive induction into Mission Australia, our values, our programs and administrative procedures.
• A Graduate Program Coordinator
• A  personal mentor to guide you professionally
• A chaplain to support you holistically
• Accredited training in Mental Health First Aid, Conflict Resolution and Time Management

With more than 450 services nationally, the geographical spread of our organisation means you can choose between a city or rural lifestyle.

Our program runs from February to November.
