Graduate Development Program (GDP)
Past graduates' testimonials
The following testimonials have been provided by graduates from the 2012 program.
"I really enjoyed the learning opportunities I had during my rotations. Over the year I helped to manage a child mental health program, assisted with the running of a high profile recruitment process, and gained policy and project management experience whilst working on an outcome of the Living Longer, Living Better aged care reforms."—Sam, 2012 Graduate
"I moved to Canberra for the graduate program at DoHA [sic] and I have really enjoyed living here. I found it very easy to make friends with the other graduates, a lot of whom were also new to Canberra. My favourite rotation was in the Audit and Fraud Division, which I returned to at the end of the program. Overall, I have really enjoyed the year in Canberra and the graduate program!"—Kylie, 2012 Graduate
"Although I don't have an educational background in health policy, the graduate program gave me an opportunity to work in a broad range of topical program and policy areas. This access to development opportunities outside my area of expertise was the most rewarding part of the program."—Ben, 2012 Graduate
