About the Program.
The Office of Digital Government leads Western Australia’s digital transformation and proudly delivers the acclaimed whole-of-Government Digital Public Sector Graduate Program.
Driving innovation and impact, the program has joined forces with some of WA’s largest Government agencies to recruit top-tier STEM graduates and elevate digital capabilities across the sector.
Recognised in its inaugural year (2024) as a Top Graduate Employer (medium category) by the Australian Association of Graduate Employers, the newly created program earns this distinction through direct graduate feedback, affirming its bold and effective approach to recruitment and its immediate success in accelerating digital transformation. Upon successful completion of the program, you will be permanently appointed to an agency to continue your professional career.
