“The AFP Graduate Program has been a fantastic start to my career. It has not only afforded me the opportunity to work in various teams and learn about the work of countless others but has also provided me the opportunity to meet people from across the organisation and its partners that I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet otherwise. I’ve been able to make lifelong friends and build a network which would take years to establish normally, allowing me to kickstart my career in the AFP”. – Ben, 2023 graduate.

“The AFP Graduate Program offers a range of unique opportunities and experiences consisting of fast-paced operational environments to inter-agency collaboration. Through this exposure, I had the chance to work with numerous teams and collaborate with them on different operations. This not only helped me grow professionally but allowed me to discover more about myself and find a passion for what I want to do and achieve in my career”. – Hamza, 2023 graduate.

“The AFP Directions Program is an amazing way to explore a career within the Australian Federal Police. It allows you to work alongside and support operational sworn staff and a vast range of professional staff, and there is no real limit to what the AFP can offer when it comes to personal and professional development opportunities. There are hundreds of different roles with some you might not expect but there is definitelya place for everyone. The AFP also has strong cultural connections with its First Nations staff. While working with the AFP, you will not only become a part of a family, but you will be supported in your own cultural journeys. The AFP Directions Program has opened so many doors for me and my future AFP career, I am excited to see what will come next!” – Dylan, 2023 Directions participants.

“The AFP Graduate Program has exposed me to a variety of environments that have granted me a diverse range of opportunities and experiences. From professional to operational business areas, the program enabled me to explore all that is on offer at the AFP, much of which provoked my curiosity of where my career in AFP could take me. I was able to develop professional, technical and interpersonal skills while working with a variety of both sworn and professional members, that had a wealth of knowledge to offer. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time as part of the AFP Graduate Program and would recommend it to anyone looking to work in a diverse workplace, where the opportunities satisfy a range of interests and are quite frankly endless”. – Maddy, 2023 graduate.
