Careers in Government

A career in government is both rewarding and diverse, offering opportunities to specialise in your field of interest while applying your skills across different agencies and regions - providing mobility and variety throughout your career.

Each agency recruits for a range of core roles, including policy development and advice, public-facing service delivery, and administration, as well as specialist positions aligned to its specific responsibilities, such as Defence, Health, and Education.

This means you could start your career at the Department of Education working a core role, building portable skills that can take you to the Department of Health or the Attorney-General’s Office and further a field.

Developing core capabilities opens up opportunities to work across government.

A good example of core skills is procurement. Hear from four different team members about their experiences working in this field.
