Complete the online application form through www.jobs.wa.gov.au by clicking the 'Apply for Job' button on the advertisement. You will be asked to answer a number of questions which will determine your suitability for the role.

You will need the following documents to upload to the online application form:

Step 2:

Video Interviewing (7 – 9 August 2020)

If you make it through the online application stage, you will be asked to complete a one-way video interview. During the video interview, you will be asked to answer 3-4 questions based on your skills, abilities and motivations for applying for the Treasury Graduate Program. It can be done on your computer, mobile or tablet device as long as you have a stable internet connection.

We recommend you complete the interview in a location that is quiet and where you are unlikely to be disturbed. The whole process should take no longer than 30 minutes to finish, which includes checking your setup, doing some practice questions and completing the interview from us.
