Vacation work is an excellent way to gain a first-hand understanding of corporate recovery and our other service lines. Whilst the thought of insolvency may genuinely interest you, we understand that you have limited knowledge of from your university studies. Vacation work provides you with this hands-on experience.
In addition to gaining a sound understanding of the type of work we do, you will also have a great appreciation of our culture, work environment, the social aspects, and most importantly our people. This is important when making informed decisions about your career as a graduate.
Vacation work involves working full-time for six to eight weeks usually from the beginning of December until late January. Many of our best graduates began their careers as vacationers, and we actively look to recruit some of our graduates via our Vacation Program.
To be eligible for a vacation position you must:
-
Be studying a Commerce/Business degree with an Accounting major
-
Be in your penultimate year of your degree
-
Be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
-
Be available to work for a six to eight week period
-
Complete all sections of the application form, attach your CV (including names of referees), covering letter and academic results
Please refer to our Events and Dates section for closing date for applications.

First round interview |
We understand that selection is two-way. The process consists of an interview and an open discussion, which is designed for both parties to get the most out of the experience. You will be asked some behavioural-based interview questions along the way. Human Resources or a Supervisor or Manager conducts first round interviews. |
Second round interview & office tour |
Successful applicants will be short listed for a second interview based upon first round interview performance, demonstration of industry knowledge and our recruitment criteria. You will need to bring an original academic transcript if this has not already been supplied. This stage involves an interview with a Manager/ Director or Partner and a tour of our offices with recent graduates. |
Reference check |
Further short-listing occurs and successful candidates are reference checked where appropriate prior to making employment offers. |
Offer of employment |
Upon making final decisions, verbal offers are made. A formal employment agreement is then issued which outlines the terms and conditions of the employment offer. Human Resources and other staff involved in the recruitment process are available to discuss any post-offer queries and we encourage you to call as many times as you wish. |
