If you haven’t already, you can learn more about the graduate program.

There are five simple steps in applying for the program.

Your suitability or performance at each step will determine whether you progress to the next stage. If you’re successful, you’ll be notified by email as you progress through each step.


 1. Submit your application

To get started, complete our online application form to express your interest.

You’ll need to include:

  • your contact details
  • an up-to-date resume (maximum two pages and including two referees)
  • your most recent academic transcript
  • a one-page summary of why you’d like to work for Queensland Parliament.

Your one-page summary will be an opportunity to demonstrate your written communication skills.  

 


 2. Complete online testing 

If you’re shortlisted, you’ll receive an invitation to complete psychometric and cognitive testing. This is a short online assessment to help us understand if you’re a match for Queensland Parliament’s culture and your capacity for logical reasoning. 


 3. Attend an interview

If you’re successful in proceeding to the next stage, you’ll be invited to attend an interview. You’ll be asked behavioural-based questions, and your responses should include examples that demonstrate your ability or your experience.


 4. Receive an offer 

If your application is successful, we’ll create a two-year rotation through our divisions that’s unique to your skills, experience, interests and areas for development. You’ll receive your formal offer with details of your program by email.

If you accept your offer, you’ll be asked to provide some additional details so you’re ready for your start date.


5. Commence your career 

Successful applicants will commence their roles with The Queensland Parliamentary Service in February.
