The Cook Labor Government is investing in the next generation of digital professionals, with applications now open for the 2027 Digital Public Sector Graduate Program.
Led by the Office of Digital Government, the whole-of-government graduate program attracts high-performing science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduates and provides a valuable opportunity to build a meaningful career in the Western Australian public sector.
Since 2024, the program has supported 58 graduates across 17 government agencies, building digital capability across government while delivering valuable career opportunities for emerging professionals.
The program contributes to the recently launched Digital Strategy for the WA Government objective of strengthening digital capability across the public sector by developing emerging ICT professionals in Cyber Security, Data Science, ICT Operations and Geospatial Information Systems. This capability helps agencies modernise services, improve security and deliver better outcomes for Western Australians.
Through structured rotations across multiple agencies, graduates will gain hands-on experience in their chosen stream while working on real projects. This allows them to build practical skills, broaden their experience and contribute to the digital capability and transformation of the Western Australian public sector.
Applications close 10 September 2026. For more information, visit the Digital Public Sector Graduate Program website
