How are the placements within each rotation decided?
Graduate placements for rotations are decided according to three priorities (in this order): • business needs • required development, and • graduate preference. Business needs relates to the workforce planning (staffing) needs of a particular Branch or Section and the capacity of the Branch or Section to provide meaningful work and supervision. Required development relates to exposing you to a range of work types such as policy development, program management or provision of advice to the Department’s clients. You could find yourself working in a range of areas such as: international prisoner exchange, indigenous law and justice, national security and counter terrorism, identity security, disaster management, telecommunications and surveillance law, money laundering, inter country adoption, family law, illicit drugs, and international assistance and treaties.Graduate Preference relates to your indications of preferred fields or more importantly, your development needs.
