Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

If you’re curious, determined and passionate about making a difference, DFAT is an excellent place to start your career.

At university you’re surrounded by many opportunities and influential, intellectual people to learn from. Use these resources and gain as much experience as you can.

Everyone I have worked with throughout my time has been so warm, welcoming and will always offer their help when you need it. I find that this has made my experience as a Graduate that much more enjoyable.

Don’t be afraid to go for roles you wouldn’t typically go for – you won’t know if you enjoy something until you try it, and where you end up can be very different than what you originally planned.

Providing secretariat support for this division was a really exciting piece of work to be involved in and a fantastic introduction to policy work.

For me, the coolest aspect of my job is knowing that the work I do has contributed to something that essentially benefits all Australians.
