Here at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, or PM&C for short, our role is to provide fresh thinking and sound advice to government.

As a grad I mainly learn and get tasks to progress my skills. Sometimes this means quite periods but once the team are satisfied that you understand, we work the same as any other staff member.
Tasks given to graduates are lacking substance and while teams try to consider that we are employed as APS3s, this leads to unfulfilling work.
Mostly engaging with stakeholders and other teams in the department
A day in the life of an Adviser at PM&C will involve working on several different work items, often to short timeframes. The work could include writing briefs for senior decision-makers to meeting, meeting with other agencies to discuss work progress, contributing to Cabinet processes, providing policy advice on your subject area to other internal teams, making corporate contributions through the PM&C Social Club or employee Networks, and working with highly intelligent and experienced colleagues from all walks of life.
