Department of Housing and Works Graduate Program

A nationally recognised, award winning graduate program that recruits on values, not degrees.

Who we are

The Department of Housing and Works is a central agency providing a broad and unique range of services with a dynamic, flexible workforce that embraces our values.

Our main functions are to:

  • advise government on reform, procurement and policy
  • build major non-residential projects like schools and hospitals
  • buy by leading whole of government purchasing on behalf of the state
  • collect revenue and administering grants to the community
  • deliver corporate services using leading technology and continuous innovation.

Read more about our work in the 2023-24 Annual Report.

About the program

Applications for our 2027 graduate program will open on Monday 23 February 2026.

As our department was established on 1 July 2025 as part of Public Sector Reform (we were previously the Department of Finance), we are reviewing our graduate program to create an even better graduate program in 2027.
