I came into Medicare Australia as a Graduate after completing the NICP (National Indigenous Cadetship Program) in 2007. On completion of my degree I received assistance in relocating to Canberra from Queensland and a career path in a large Department with room for promotion. Graduates also receive a salary above the national average for university graduates in IT, ongoing mentoring and support from Medicare Australia staff and opportunities to further my knowledge with training and development courses. The work environment at Medicare Australia is diverse and the staff are friendly and supportive. Medicare Australia has organised regular meetings for Graduates to meet each other and to discuss issues and to provide feedback. The Graduate Program has given me an excellent opportunity to further my career in a busy IT environment currently undertaking challenging and rewarding work.-Martin-
