Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

You will be exposed to a variety of work situations to develop, enhance and hone new skills and knowledge while you engage in a number of key business activities.

Experiencing diverse work environments will help you identify areas that interest you most. You don’t have to do the same job forever. We encourage you to try new directions. When you work for us, you get a career, not just a job.

During your 12-month graduate program you will:
  • be offered challenging, interesting work
  • undertake relevant specialised hands-on training
  • develop your skills and knowledge
  • shape your career
  • develop a network of contacts across our organisation.
You will complete two work rotations and a client contact experience to give you exposure to different facets of the organisation. The client contact component aims to enhance your customer service skills.

You will receive technical and corporate training, and a starting salary among the highest in the Australian Public Service.

You will have the opportunity to gain an additional qualification by completing a Certificate IV in Government (Project Management).

On top of this, you will receive excellent superannuation benefits; generous leave provisions (including extra leave over Christmas); and the opportunity to apply for future assistance with your studies.

After you successfully finish the program you are guaranteed:
  • a permanent position
  • a salary increase
  • a classification advancement.

In addition to excellent working conditions, we promote and enjoy a positive workplace culture. Add that to training, flexibility, support and variety and you have an employer of choice.
