Trainees like me perform a wide variety of corporate support services which include analysing and managing budgets, financial reporting, managing overseas property, and manning phones in our consular crisis centre. When posted overseas, corporate officers have a special responsibility for providing consular assistance to Australians living or travelling abroad. This can be very demanding work, particularly when dealing with accidents and medical emergencies. My job has many rewarding aspects; I'm really looking forward to being able to experience life in another country when I go on posting at the completion of my two year graduate training program. Overall, I love that I'm contributing in some small way to advancing Australia's international interests.
