Transcript for 'NDIA Graduate Program 2024 '

We’re different to other APS agencies.

The NDIA is continually expanding. It is now providing support to over 500,000 Australians all across the country.

This means that our work and teams have also expanded, and we have a wide range of roles across different functions in various locations.

The NDIA is making improvements. We continue to make changes in our processes to better support people with disability.

This means we need people with fresh ideas and enthusiasm to work towards our commitment. You will get the opportunity and platform to flex your ideas and bring creative changes.

Your work has impact. Everything we do in the NDIA works towards a better NDIS.

We’re looking for graduates who are passionate and committed to the NDIA's purpose. People who enjoy working as part of a diverse, high-performing team.

We want our staff to reflect the community we serve. If you have a disability, come from a culturally and linguistically diverse background or identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, we want to hear from you.

We value diversity in every respect. We welcome applications from graduates with diverse academic skills, including, but not limited to finance, legal, actuarial, business, human resources (HR), social sciences and allied health.

To find out what it’s like to be a graduate with the NDIA, see our Meet our Graduates page.

Build your skills. Build your career. Shape Australia’s future.

As a graduate in the APS you’ll do meaningful work from day one. We’ll ask you to contribute to work that matters and encourage your ideas.

Create your own career, where you can see the impact you make in the community we serve.

Join the APS and use what you learn to build a better Australia and shape its broader place and role in the world.
