Department of Human Services National Graduate Program
Centrelink is an Australian Government Statutory Agency, delivering a range of Commonwealth services to the Australian community. As part of the Service Delivery Reform agenda, Centrelink has recently joined Medicare Australia and the Department of Human Services (DHS) to develop a new DHS National Graduate Program. The program is designed to build your capacity both technically and across the Human Services Portfolio by providing you with inter-agency rotations, shared learning, networking and greater experiences.
You only need to submit 1 application for the DHS National Graduate program. You will have the option to apply for 1, 2 or all 3 agencies in your application.
If you are successful as a Centrelink graduate, your permanent position will remain in Centrelink at the end of the 12-month program.
You may have an opportunity to complete a rotation in Medicare Australia or DHS during your graduate program.
For further information about Service Delivery reform visit the Works for you website.
The Australian Public Service isn’t all about drinking coffee and sitting behind a desk all day. It offers so much more, from implementing Government strategy to providing support and services to millions of Australians, and endless career opportunities.
We’re looking for standout performers to lead us into the future. Who knows? It might be you. The program runs for 12 months during which you will be exposed to an extensive learning and development program, on-the-job training and access to senior mentoring and coaching to support your career goals.
You will also have the opportunity to visit a Centrelink/Medicare Australia office or Call Centre so you can gain a better understanding of the services provided to the Australian community, but most importantly you will meet a network of new mates and forge friendships for life. Hey... the Department of Human Services National Graduate Program will even guarantee you a permanent position once you have completed the program.
