About AIHW
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) is a major national agency set up by the Australian Government to provide reliable, regular and relevant information and statistics on Australia's health and welfare. . A Canberra-based statutory authority our aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians through better health and welfare information and statistics. We collect and report information on a wide range of topics and issues, ranging from health and welfare expenditure, hospitals, disease and injury, and mental health, to ageing, homelessness, disability and child protection.
Governments and the community use our reports and data in discussing, debating, and making policy decisions on health, housing and community services matters.
We produce two flagship reports Australia’s Health and Australia’s Welfare. These publications highlight the current trends within these sectors and provide valuable information on the health and welfare needs and services in Australia. The AIHW currently employs about 400 people across a broad range of areas.
Graduate opportunities exist for people with backgrounds in epidemiology, health sciences, economics, social sciences, statistics and demography.
AIHW graduates will have the opportunity to work in areas such as population health, community services, health services, housing, Indigenous health and welfare and information management.
The AIHW’s graduate intake is not a 'typical' graduate program, in that graduates do not rotate through the AIHW. Instead, AIHW graduates generally stay in the one position throughout the year, which provides the opportunity to really 'sink your teeth' into high-quality projects, and acquire a deeper experience and skills development.
The AIHW prides itself on the ongoing development of its staff, and our graduates are exposed to many learning and development opportunities early on and throughout their AIHW career. In the past we have offered many training opportunities to Graduates during their program, including (to name but a few!):
- Writing workshops
- Introduction to public policy
- Selection criteria and interviews
- Statistical writing, SAS, EndNote and other technical training
- Indigenous cultural appreciation
- Diversity, bullying and harassment awareness
- OH&S and
- Many events offered by the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) that are specifically targeted to APS graduates:
