You're ready to begin your online application once you know which team you'd like to start your adventure with.
We strongly recommend applying to no more than two roles. This will show us that you’ve done your research to understand Deloitte, the roles, and opportunities with us, as well as help articulate your areas of interest and where you could see your future here.
Closing deadlines: Should application volumes greatly exceed our available placement numbers, we may close off individual opportunities before the stated deadline. We recommend you submit your completed application as early as possible.
Accessibility assistance
If you need assistance or an accommodation during the recruitment process for accessibility reasons, there will be an opportunity for you to let us know what you need once you begin your application.

Our online assessment is an immersive, client-focused set of virtual activities intended to give you a taste of what it may be like to work with us and help us learn more about you.
You’ll receive a bespoke feedback report about your strengths and abilities after the assessment. This isn’t the outcome of your assessment, but it will provide valuable advice on developing your skills and maximising your potential.

If the role you applied for requires a Digital Interview, we will send you a link to our video platform to answer three quick questions about your achievements and interests. Take all the time you need to prepare, as you'll only have one opportunity to re-record your response. You can prepare using the practice questions provided on the platform.
Some of our roles require a Job Simulation instead of a Digital Interview, so you may receive a link to complete this activity.
Job Simulations offer an insight into the area you've applied for, with different types of questions; some are scenario-based, while others require video responses. It's your chance to experience your chosen area and showcase your skills and preferences. You can complete either of these activities from home at a time that suits you.

Expect to join us for a morning or afternoon where you’ll participate in several activities, from information sessions and networking opportunities to a group case study exercise and 1:1 interview with a leader from our business. Your Assessment Day experience with us will vary depending on the role and business area you have applied to – for example, you may be asked to prepare for an individual presentation or attend a final interview with our team at a separate time.

This will show us that you’ve done your research to understand Deloitte, the roles and opportunities with us, and help articulate your areas of interest and where you could see your future at Deloitte.
I have applied for a role at Deloitte in the past 6 months. Can I apply for another role?
If you have applied and been unsuccessful for a specific area within the last 6 months, unfortunately, you cannot reapply to that same area again. You are, however, able to apply for opportunities in other areas. Please consider how you could take on board any previous feedback to help refine your application.

Yes, they do. We make an initial eligibility assessment based on how you respond to these questions. Ensure you are responding to them as accurately as possible and that you have uploaded any requested documents.
The area/team I am interested in doesn’t have any opportunities - what can I do?
That is okay. You can create a candidate profile here and then set up a Job Alert to be notified when a matching opportunity arises. To set up your job alert, click on the 'Options' menu and then 'Job alerts'.

I completed the online assessment earlier in the year and am now being prompted to complete this again. Do I need to redo this assessment?
We have just launched an exciting new assessment! If you applied to one of our student opportunities earlier this year (2024) and completed the assessment, we’d like you to please complete this new assessment.
If you applied for a student opportunity (and subsequently completed the assessment) after the 24th of July 2024, you don’t need to do it again.

I’ve completed the online simulated assessment (2nd stage), but the status on my profile still says ‘complete your assessment’.

The recruitment process varies depending on the role you have applied for. Therefore, you may be asked to complete either a digital interview, job simulation, or both. We recommend you click the link to each invitation to ensure you have completed what is required.
If you have completed your job simulation assessment and your candidate profile says to complete the assessment, do not worry; this happens when you have applied for more than one role.
Do I have to complete both?
It depends on the area in which you expressed interest. If you applied to two roles, one requiring a digital interview and the other a job simulator, you must complete both.
How many times can I re-record the digital interview?
You can re-record once. We also give you a little time to read the question and prepare before capturing your response, so make sure you make the most of it.
Check out the short video from our team in the 'How we hire' section of the respective Program pages for tips and advice on how to ace the digital interview and job simulator!
Is there a practice round in the Job Simulator?

Deloitte Australia* accepts program applications from students who do not yet hold Australian permanent residence to augment our talent pools.
We're accepting Graduate & Vacationer Interest in the following areas: Accounting, Technology & Analytics. We will review applications, and our team will be in touch to invite you into the recruitment process should your application be successful in being selected.
If you are in this category, you must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
Please note: Deloitte cannot assist in obtaining either the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) or the Subclass 189 Skilled - Independent Visa. You will be responsible for independently applying for and obtaining the relevant visa, which will be a condition of your employment.
Due to the changes announced by the Department of Home Affairs in July 2018 to the subclass 189 and the transition from the subclass 457 visa to the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa, Deloitte’s priority is the hiring of domestic graduate talent into our Audit & Assurance and Tax & Legal business units. Acceptance of international student applications in the above areas will be based on exception only.
See all our international locations.
* All Australian offices except Canberra, where Australian citizenship is required.
Do you offer work experience placements for high school students?
Deloitte does not currently offer placements for students in high school. The first point to engage with our student programs is through the Me at Deloitte program in your pre-penultimate year of study (if you are studying a 3-year course, this would be in your first year of study).
For students completing their high school studies, Deloitte is working closely with TAFE NSW, the University of Wollongong, and Swinburne University of Technology to launch a Cyber Academy Program which commenced in early 2023. Please refer to our Cyber Academy Program page to learn more.
Can the vacationer program count as course credit towards my degree?
The Deloitte vacationer program can sometimes count as course credit if this has been pre-arranged through your university and the placement meets your institutions’ requirements. Please note we are unable to sign any external documentation from the university, however, you can request a statement of service to demonstrate the timings of your placement to your university.
What is Deloitte Experience (DX)?
Flexibility is at the heart of how we work at Deloitte, recognising that everyone has different personal circumstances and preferences. We know that success at work is empowered by support for life outside of work.

Our market-leading flexible work policy DeloitteFlex now includes 12 flexible working options allowing employees to shape their working day, including when they start and finish and how they flex to meet personal and professional priorities.
What do people wear at Deloitte?
There's no 'formal' dress code at Deloitte, and we encourage employees to dress in a way that makes them feel comfortable and authentic, regardless of their gender identity, expression, cultural identity and heritage.
We encourage our people to dress for their day, which means thinking about appropriate and responsible attire for meeting with your team and clients (both virtually or in-person).
