During my program, someone told me that “ASIS is your oyster”, and it truly was the best piece of advice I received. There are so many broad and wide-ranging opportunities available that ensures you are never stagnant. It will open your eyes to a whole other world. And best of all – your work as a grad will be important, satisfying and of service to the entire Australian community.

Coming into the program as a recent uni grad, I was worried that I’d get pigeonholed into one particular area. Fortunately, because the program involved rotations through vastly different teams, I was able to experience the full gamut of roles and operational focuses.
