Safe Work Australia invites applications for their 2025 Graduate Program

Safe Work Australia invites applications for their 2025 Graduate Program, opening doors for graduates keen to build a career in workplace health and safety at national level.

"Our highly regarded 12-month program offers graduates the chance to undertake unique and interesting work across different sections of the Agency whilst completing a comprehensive learning and development program," Safe Work Australia said.

Additionally, all graduates will have the opportunity to receive professional coaching and individual mentorship from Safe Work Australia's senior executives, gaining exposure to safety and health policy work that shapes outcomes for employers and workers across Australia.

The deadline for applications is 11.30pm (AEST) on Monday 15 April 2025.

Why Consider the Safe Work Australia Graduate Program

Graduates joining this program work alongside teams responsible for maintaining and improving safety standards nationwide. Participants gain hands-on exposure to the resources and frameworks that underpin Australia's approach to workplace safety, including insights into how Safe Work Australia updates work-related fatalities data to inform policy decisions.

For those interested in the broader regulatory landscape, Safe Work Australia has also recently sought public input through initiatives such as inviting comments on recommended workplace exposure limits for nine chemicals and the Asbestos Framework Review, both of which reflect the depth of work graduates may encounter during placement.

Program Highlights

• 12-month structured rotation across different sections of the Agency
• Comprehensive learning and development program
• Professional coaching and mentorship from senior executives
• Direct involvement in initiatives supporting safety outcomes nationally

Employers seeking robust safety documentation to support their own workplace practices can explore resources such as the Rigging Safe Work Procedure, Jigsaw Safe Work Method Statement, or Linisher Safe Work Method Statement, which complement the regulatory groundwork established through programs like this one.
