I would recommend the DSS Graduate Programme to students from all disciplines. You will get an opportunity to work on projects that are truly meaningful, projects that directly affect the wellbeing of citizens of Australia.
As an ICT Graduate, I had a specific developmental opportunity, additional to the other training available to generalist DSS graduates – I completed a post graduate qualification in ICT.
I am passionate about equality, equity, and social cohesion, so when the opportunity to work in the heart of Australia’s social policy agency came up I jumped on it, and haven’t looked back.
There is interesting and important work to be done across all areas of the Department with talented and passionate colleagues who are always willing to share their knowledge and experience.
