Overview

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade manages Australia’s foreign policy, trade and international development work. Its official careers page invites registrations of interest for the 2028 Graduate Program so candidates can be notified when substantive applications open. The current programme description covers corporate and policy work, including financial management, people services, communications, economic analysis and trade. Graduate roles are based in Canberra. Detailed salary, degree-date and commencement information still refers to the closed 2027 intake, so those terms have not been treated as confirmed for 2028. This record preserves the identified graduate expression of interest rather than an open vacancy.
