My Professor has told me that I need a perfect GPA as the
process is extremely competitive.
Is this true? How do I stand out?
No. While the academic achievement of an individual is considered as part of the
application,
we consider a number of different attributes including communication and problem
solving
skills, an ability to build relationships and alignment to our values. We also
review your
professional and volunteer experience and transferable skills that are relevant to
the
stream you have applied for.
It is important to take the time to complete all aspects of the application and we do
expect
to see signs that you have done some research prior to applying or attending an
interview.
We have a range of information available on our website that may assist in finding
out more
about us.

Our Talent Acquisition Consultants are reviewing applications throughout the

our Graduate Program by May and our Intern program by July.
Can I complete the graduate or intern program from a State
Office?
No. Both our graduate and intern programs are based in our Sydney head office.

state. Will I be required to pay to
attend the interview?
