Our vacation program
We have 3 exciting vacation employment opportunities in 2025.
In all placements you’ll be guided by experienced mentors, gain insight into how government works, build professional networks, and make a meaningful impact to the way services are delivered to Western Australians.

Play a part in creating economic growth and stronger communities by supporting Aboriginal businesses and contributing to projects that support their access to government contract opportunities. You’ll develop practical skills in stakeholder engagement, understanding of procurement (purchasing) processes, data analysis, and policy development.
- Advisory Services team (suitable to students studying society, culture, humanities or legal studies)
