Welcome to the Australian Association for Graduate Employers

The leading voice of Australia’s Early Careers Industry

The Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAGE) is the peak body representing the organisations and professionals that recruit, develop and inspire students, graduates and interns.

The graduates of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Strong early careers programs provide guidance, inspiration and opportunities that are vital for the development of our workforce across health, science, technology, law, business, engineering, defence and more. Every aspect of our society is impacted by the quality and retention of graduates. Our role is to support the Early Careers Industry and strengthen the talent pipelines Australia relies on, today and in the years ahead.

We are the independent voice of the industry, directly representing over 500 organisations across private and public sectors. As a not-for-profit and member-led association, the AAGE advocates and responds to the issues that matter to the industry.

Our focus areas are:

Insights and Benchmarking

We commission and share robust research and insights to help members benchmark performance, understand emerging trends and make informed decisions.

Through education, mentoring and professional development, we empower members to deliver exceptional early careers programs.


Professional Learning

We support industry best practice through professional development and peer learning. Content is curated for early careers programs and, when combined with the connection to a generous community of peers who share their knowledge and experience, helps organisations build capability to maximise the impact of their programs.


Industry Hub

We bring together Australia’s early careers community to connect, inspire and share best practice.

Members gain access to a collective pool of experience, ideas and expertise, building meaningful professional relationships while learning from peers across the industry.


Advocacy for Industry

We identify, measure and communicate the critical issues facing Australia’s Early Careers Industry.

Drawing on independent research, member insights and industry expertise, we advocate to key stakeholders to strengthen the understanding of and investment in and importance of early careers, Australia’s future workforce and our members.
