The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) gives you diverse opportunities and experience across the entire financial services industry: banking + insurance + superannuation.
Put yourself in the equation and help shape the future of Australia’s financial services industry.
What we do
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is the prudential regulator of the financial services industry. We oversee Australia’s banks, credit unions, building societies, life and general insurance companies and reinsurance companies, friendly societies and most of the superannuation industry. APRA currently supervises institutions holding approximately $3 trillion in assets for 21 million Australian depositors, policyholders and superannuation fund members.
Opportunities exist for graduates in front-line supervision of regulated institutions. We:
Monitor institutions’ financial position and outlook
Assess risks in financial institutions
Licence new financial institutions
Enforce directions to protect policyholders, depositors and superannuation fund members
Further opportunities exist for graduates to be part of highly specialised teams, such as statistics or policy, that provide advice and consulting services to APRA’s front-line supervisors.
What we offer graduates
As a graduate at APRA you’ll benefit from a special ‘buddy system’, mentoring program, rotation and a comprehensive training program all within your first year with us.
Remuneration is performance linked at APRA. In addition to annual remuneration increases, you will be eligible for annual performance bonuses after a 12-month qualifying period as a reward for your effort and commitment. APRA also has a generous study support program.
After a successful 12-month probation period you will be promoted to the role of Analyst. At APRA progression is based on performance, not tenure. Promotions are available to the right people – even without a vacancy available. APRA also offers a range of attractive conditions and was recently voted among the top 20 Australian workplaces based on our commitment to work/life balance.
