Public Sector Advisory Graduate Program (Feb 2026)

KordaMentha is an advisory and investment firm helping clients to grow, protect and recover value. With an expansive team of more than 400 specialists across the Asia-Pacific region, our diversity is our strength.

KordaMentha is now growing its capability to serve the public sector. Our team of specialists are hands-on, straight-talking and genuine experts in their fields. They are unafraid to bring new ideas to Government but are deeply respectful of the complex, multi-faceted environments our public servants operate in.

Our team supports Government to make the challenging strategic decisions that shape the future of the ACT and the Nation. By bringing a structured, rigorous and analytical approach, we enable the public service to solve the most complex and difficult of problems and contribute to a stronger and more prosperous Australia.

Your Opportunity

In response to sustained growth, we seek motivated graduates who are ready to launch into a career different to the formulaic career path of a traditional consulting firm.

Here, you'll be motivated by real impact. You will experience hands-on apprenticeship with Partners who pride themselves in being deeply involved in the work. You'll contribute to the growth of the business and get exposure to senior leaders in Government.

You will develop your expertise and understand how to effect positive change that your friends, family and community will see each and every day.

But it’s not all about work. You’ll be given a buddy to help you navigate office life as you settle in. You’ll choose a mentor who will help guide your career. We host regular events and activities, bringing together our close-knit team in a friendly and relaxed environment so you can get to know the people behind the professionals. You’ll also become a member of Accelerate, our young professionals networking group. 

You can also make a positive difference in your community through regular charity and industry events. Whether it’s volunteering at local food rescue venues or bike rides to raise money for children’s charities, you can get involved and give back.
