Start your career as an ABS graduate
A career with impact
ABS graduates
The ABS Graduate Program has been recognised as one of Australia’s Top Graduate Programs for two years running by the Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAEG). The AAGE’s Top Graduate Employers list recognises organisations that provide the most positive experience for their new graduates, as determined by graduates themselves.
Come and see why our graduates rate the ABS Graduate Program as one of Australia’s Best and join our 2026 Register of Interest to keep up to date with the latest information about ABS opportunities.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is the perfect place to launch your career. We offer a supportive environment, where we focus on training and development to let our Graduates develop their skills and find their feet. The ABS Graduate Development Program is an opportunity to kick start your career and build the foundations for the future.
We are now seeking recent or upcoming graduates to join our 2025 Graduate Development Program. We are participating in the following Australian Government Graduate Program (AGGP) streams:
- Accounting and Financial Management
- Data
- Digital
- Generalist
- Human Resources
- Legal
- Indigenous Graduate Pathway
The AGGP is a whole-of-Government program that lets you apply for one stream and have access to multiple Australian Government and Commonwealth agencies. You no longer need to submit multiple job applications. You could work at the ABS if found suitable in your application in the AGGP streams above.
We are also running our own Information & Communication Technology (ICT) Graduate Program.
We want to build teams with integrity, accountability, commitment to customer service, respect for diversity and a passion for innovation.
The ABS offers a dynamic, innovative and flexible workplace, supported by a passionate team that carries out work with real purpose.
We are committed to championing the skills and qualities of all our staff and offer a range of learning and development opportunities and experiences.
