What we do
Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) is a key central agency that provides specialist fiscal, economic and commercial policy advice and services to government to assist in delivering services and infrastructure to benefit Territorians. Our purpose is to promote sustainable finances and economic development of the Territory.
DTF is a trusted and influential adviser in areas including:
- financial management
- economic, commercial, taxation and regulatory issues
- government borrowing and investment
- public sector superannuation.
For more information visit the Department of Treasury and Finance website.
The DTF graduate program has successfully shaped DTF workforce planning strategies for over 25 years, attracting high calibre applicants wishing to forge their careers in government.
The 12‑month program provides a comprehensive and structured package of training and development along with hands-on experience across the agency.
As a central agency, our graduates have a unique opportunity to work on issues across government and gain experience in budget development and financial reporting, economic and own-source revenue management at the Territory level.
Supported by senior mentors and tailored work plans, many graduates remain with DTF after completing the program and take advantage of postgraduate support and study incentives to further develop their careers.
The intent of the DTF graduate program is to build our workforce with skilled and talented future leaders. Our graduates will undertake rotations in the three core areas of the agency during the 12-month program – financial management, economic policy and analysis, and revenue management – to grow professionally and gain broader experience.
On successful completion of the program, graduates may be offered ongoing employment and can then undertake an additional 12-month development program.
In the second year, graduates can complete three further rotations in other areas of the agency to gain additional skills. This fast‑tracks careers and provides a solid foundation for future leadership.
