Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

Having the trust and support of PEXA to work on exciting projects is something I truly value, as I know this is not something that all graduate programs offer.

You are an adviser, a counsellor, a cheerleader, a boundary-setter, and on any given day you can be both the best and worst person in the world (if your students had any say, that is!).

The graduate cohort is a wonderful source of social support, and my mentor, buddy, and supervisors have been great sources of insight, guidance, and perspective throughout the year.

As a clerk, you get exposure to great matters – massive commercial deals and important government work.

Don’t lose your sense of wonder because it keeps you grounded and lets you learn new things throughout your life.

The trainers are always by your side, and they imbibe in you all of the things that you’d been sorely missing - the TW goodies - pair programming, test-driven development, feedback culture - the whole nine yards.

I feel very lucky to be able to work on unique constitutional issues or complex administrative law questions and to work alongside leading constitutional law specialists and experts.

If you’re curious, determined and passionate about making a difference, DFAT is an excellent place to start your career.
