Check each stream deadline before applying.
As a graduate at the ACMA, what you do each day will impact the lives of almost every Australian.
Our work is diverse and dynamic. You may find yourself working in a team to investigate complaints about radio and TV programs, or investigating telcos who don’t do the right thing. You could work to limit harmful gambling activities online, protect Australians from scams and spam, or help shape our future working in our spectrum areas.
We also work closely with the eSafety Commissioner, which could see you helping to safeguard Australians at risk from online harm. Don’t fancy moving to Canberra? No problem! We also have office locations in Sydney and Melbourne.
Australian Government Graduate Programs
The Australian Government offers graduates job opportunities across multiple disciplines.
We are a participating agency in the Generalist, Data, Digital, Human Resources, Economist and STEM Australian Government Graduate Program streams. Applying to one of these streams means you only have to go through the application and selection process once to be considered for a range of Australian Government agencies.
Wherever you start your public service career as a graduate, you’ll do meaningful work from day one, be asked to contribute, be recognised for your perspective and see the impact you can make in the Australian community we serve.
Indigenous Graduate Pathway
We are participating in centralised recruitment through the Indigenous Graduate Pathway. As an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander you will be able to complete one application and be considered for multiple agencies and departments within the Australian Public Service (APS).
Whether you start your career with us, or somewhere else in the APS, you will do meaningful work from day one.
