Australian Government Graduate Program Directory Profiles

I love being able to rotate through the agency to get a clearer idea of how the overall agency operates. It has also helped me try out jobs to see if they are a good fit for me or not. It is very cool to be in Canberra too, it feels like I am in the heart of the nation’s politics and press, and that can feel exciting. 

The work has been challenging but doable, and as my time goes on in the program, I feel I can give more back to my team and the projects they’re running.

Being the successful recipient of the Stepping Into internship not only afforded valuable public sector work experience, but it broke down the remaining barrier in my journey of recovery by confidently launching me into the workforce. It was an amazing, life changing experience!

The thing I love most about ATO is that the work we do has real-world implications and impact on the community. I had the opportunity to speak to the employees and hear their stories firsthand and achieve meaningful results for them.
