rotate through diverse business areas, gaining insight into the wide range of services that support the work of the Parliament.
be part of a collaborative, inclusive and purpose-driven organisation committed to service excellence and innovation.

digital, data, parliamentary broadcasting, Hansard and information management
parliamentary, governance, communications, library and research services
visitor, events, security, property, procurement and contract services
art, special collections and design integrity

Whether you're passionate about public service, technology, design, communications or operations, the DPS Graduate Program offers a rewarding and diverse start to your career.

Apply now and be part of something bigger - help shape the future of parliamentary service.

About the Program

The Graduate Program is a 12-month, full-time development opportunity designed to support the transition from study to a career in the Parliamentary Service.

Throughout the year, you will build valuable skills, knowledge and experience through rotational placements across the department, supported by experienced colleagues and structured learning opportunities.

Graduates will commence at the Parliamentary Service Level (PSL) 3 classification. Subject to satisfactory performance and successful completion of the program, graduates will be eligible for advancement to PSL4.

At DPS, we value the contributions of our graduate cohort. Graduates bring fresh perspectives, new ideas, and contemporary knowledge that help drive innovation and continuous improvement across the department.

Throughout the program, graduates gain meaningful, hands-on experience while receiving tailored learning and development opportunities focused on communication, leadership and professional capability.

Through hands-on experience, graduates develop their skills, build confidence and gain valuable insight into the work of the Parliamentary Service. DPS also offers:

Personalised support: Each graduate is paired with a dedicated ‘graduate buddy’ – a recent program graduate who can provide practical advice, encouragement, and support.
Valuable networking opportunities: You'll have access to senior executives and leaders across the department, helping you build professional connections from day one.

You will demonstrate effective communication and interpersonal skills, act with integrity and professionalism, and be committed to delivering high quality customer service. You will also be adaptable, resilient and able to respond positively to changing priorities.

At DPS, we acknowledge the value diversity brings. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace that ensures all our people can contribute to our shared purpose. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse people, LGBTQIA+ people, and people of all ages and identities.

Conditions of Employment

Employment opportunities at the department are subject to a range of conditions prescribed in the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 which include:

Australian citizenship: Section 22 of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 requires that employees of the Parliamentary Service are generally required to be Australian citizens. However, if you are not an Australian citizen you may be considered for engagement on the condition that you are able to gain Australian Citizenship within a specified time. Failure to obtain citizenship within the timeframe could lead to termination of employment.
Loss and resumption of Australian citizenship: Under historical provisions of the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 (section 17), some Australian citizens automatically lost their citizenship if they voluntarily acquired the citizenship of another country between 26 January 1949 and 3 April 2002. This loss occurred by operation of law and may not have been known to the individual at the time. Although these provisions were repealed in 2002 to allow dual citizenship, the repeal did not restore citizenship that was previously lost. Individuals who believe they may be affected are recommended to seek advice about resuming their Australian citizenship. Further information, is available on the Department of Home Affairs website.
- Applicants who progress to the offer stage with our department who have been affected by the loss of citizenship as outlined above will be required to demonstrate within a reasonable time that they have resumed, or are actively undertaking the process to resume, Australian citizenship.
Security clearance and character clearance: the preferred applicant will be required to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the level specified, as well as complete and be deemed suitable through a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check.
Health assessment: a pre-employment health assessment will be required where there are physical or medical requirements for the role.
External Work Approval: Employees must seek approval for any paid employment outside the department and declare voluntary activities that could impact their role.
