It is responsible for government actions on climate change and pollution, it is responsible for national parks and wildlife, and it plans for sustainable regional development and population growth. - Finance
The Department of Finance is the centre of the government’s decision-making, providing advice and recommendations for the government’s management of public funds and getting involved in the budget, fiscal policy, practice regulation and risk management. Graduates wishing to work in the Department of Finance need to be prepared to relocate to Canberra. - Foreign Affairs and Trade

The Department offers two graduate programs – the Policy Program (available to graduates of all academic backgrounds) and the Corporate Program (open to graduates with commerce, HR or ICT qualifications). Policy graduates represent and advance the interests of the nation in areas such as security, human rights, international trade and aid and development.

It is engaged in macroeconomic and microeconomic reform, tax policy, climate change initiatives and international agreements. It delivers programs designed to support the market, and is responsible for Commonwealth payments to State and Territory governments.
Public Service Experience
Experience in the public service is an advantage to securing a graduate position with the Australian Government. All government departments as well as publicly owned organisations (like the Australian Broadcasting Corporation or the ABC) offer a range of internships, cadetships and vacation opportunities.
Trends and Graduate Work Prospects in the Public Service
The public service is huge, employing 18% of the Australian work population, and providing over 178 000 jobs. It is relatively stable employment market, expected to grow in the future due to the retirement of many public servants in the next few years. However, government policies affect the demand for employment. New governments’ election promises often include cutting tens of thousands of jobs in the public service, at federal and state level, in order to reduce government size and public spending. These policies reduce the employment market and put pressure on the government to secure their vacation and internship workers as permanent graduate employees, meaning that the number of opportunities for graduates without public service experience will be reduced. That said, fluent communicators and highly qualified graduates will always be in demand, regardless of current government employment policy.
Most jobs in the Federal Government are located in Canberra, requiring successful applicants to move. However, state and territory governments also offer graduate positions.
Diversity in the Public Service
The Australian government is committed to equality and diversity in the workplace, and to that end all departments have instituted Indigenous Employment and Diversity Programs and make especial effort to recruitment and in the work environment to eliminate discrimination (direct or indirect) against employees on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity or disability. This is in accordance with the Public Service Act 1999.
Graduate Government Salaries
Employees in the public service enjoy a high rate of pay, with graduates receiving around $65k base pay for the first year, with their salary increasing every year with experience.
Benefits
Public service provides graduates with an attractive package of benefits, including workplace flexibility, recreational activities, social events (like skiing trips) and charity initiatives. Since some work requires moving to a city like Canberra, the relevant departments offer relocation assistance.
