The Western Australia government has opened applications for its 2027 Digital Public Sector Graduate Program.
The annual program seeks to build skills within the Western Australian public sector by developing the careers of graduates in four disciplines:
- Geospatial information systems
- Cyber security
- Data science, and
- ICT Operations.
Led by the Office of Digital Government, the whole-of-government graduate program aims to attract high-performing science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduates and provide an opportunity to build a career in the Western Australian public sector.
Since 2024, the program has supported 58 graduates across 17 government agencies.
The program contributes to the recently launched Digital Strategy for the WA Government objective of strengthening digital capability across the public sector.
Through structured rotations across multiple agencies, graduates will gain hands-on experience in their chosen stream while working on real projects.
“Western Australia’s future growth relies on a skilled workforce that can embrace new technologies and drive innovation,” said the state’s Science and Innovation Minister, Stephen Dawson.
“This unique program is providing talented graduates with rewarding career opportunities while helping government build the digital capability needed to deliver better outcomes for the community.”
Applications close 10 September 2026. For more information, visit the Digital Public Sector Graduate Program website or email digitalgradprogram@dpc.wa.gov.au.
