This isn't a graduate program where you'll spend 12 months watching from the sidelines.

Depending on your rotations, you could contribute to the Territory Budget, economic modelling, financial reporting, revenue forecasting, policy development, legislation, major Territory investments and advice that informs government decision‑making. Rotations may include:

- Financial Management
- Economics
- Territory Revenue

You can take on significant responsibility early, with the support and supervision to learn as you go.

Where could your career be in 5 years?

Plot twist: you live in the Territory.

Yes, the job is in Darwin.

A move to the Northern Territory isn't just a career decision. It's a lifestyle change.

Less time sitting in traffic. More time outside. Warm weather, incredible landscapes, a close-knit community and some of Australia's most extraordinary places within reach. You could finish work with enough time left in the day to actually do something with it.

Your commute just got shorter. Your weekends got bigger.

Spend your weekends exploring national parks and swimming holes. Head to the markets. Get out on the water. Find your new local. Or jump on a flight and explore more of Australia and Asia.

And with six weeks of annual recreation leave, you'll have more time to make the most of it. You don't have to choose between building your career and having a life outside it.

Go further at work. Live bigger outside it.

Ready to see where it could take you?

You don't need to have your entire career mapped out.

If you're curious, ambitious and ready to put your degree to work on something meaningful, we'd like to hear from you.
