The annual AAGE Conference focuses on the professional development of our members and addresses key graduate recruitment and development topics such as the 'how to of graduate recruitment', the latest industry innovations and the big issues facing the early careers industry today. Member representatives are entitled to substantially discounted delegate rates, saving up to $400 + GST on conference registration fees.

The Big Meet is a one-day careers fair which is promoted to all students from all universities in each host city. Currently, The Big Meet events are hosted in Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney in March/April each year. 

The Big Meet careers fairs were created as a result of feedback received from employers from both the private and public sector. Employers have asked for an effective and efficient way to promote themselves to potential candidates rather than attending several different careers fairs in the same city. AAGE members can access significant exhibitor discounts ($400 + GST per space per event).

The UniStats Report provides detailed statistics on the number of students who commence and complete an undergraduate degree at Australian universities. The original data is collected by the Australian Government and the AAGE packages this information into a number of charts and tables. This data is broken down by university and degree subject, giving AAGE members the ability to identify the number and location of candidates with specific qualifications. The AAGE UniStats Report is provided free of charge to all AAGE members via the Member Zone.

The AAGE UniGrades Report provides a summary of the exam grading structure for all Australian universities. For each university there is a description of the grades used (e.g. Higher Distinction, Distinction, Credit etc) as well as the percentage band allocated to each grade. The AAGE UniGrades Report is provided free of charge to all AAGE Members via the Member Zone.

The AAGE's SocList document provides a summary of the contact details for over 700 different student societies at universities across Australia. SocList is useful for employers that are targeting particular degree subjects that wish to make contact with the relevant student body. SocList is provided free of charge to all AAGE Members via the Member Zone.

The AAGE website hosts a Member Zone, containing member-only information and conveniently available to each member once logged into their profile.

We keep members up to speed with industry 'happenings' as well as AAGE news and events through our quarterly electronic newsletter.

Each year the AAGE rewards outstanding examples of excellence in the graduate recruitment industry through its annual AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs). The AGRIAs are a wonderful opportunity to showcase your organisation as an industry leader and we encourage ALL members to enter the Awards and gain solid recognition for their winning strategies. Winners are announced at the AAGE annual Gala Dinner, which takes place during the annual Graduate Recruitment Conference.

The aim of the Top Graduate Employers lists is to recognise those organisations which provide the most positive experience for their new graduates as determined by the graduates themselves.

​The Top Graduate Employers lists are created from the results of the AAGE's annual Graduate Survey. The survey participants are all current graduates who have up to 12 months of full-time experience with their organisation.

All the individual responses from graduates at a particular employer are combined and used to determine an overall average rating for that organisation. This same process is followed for each separate employer to produce an overall average rating for each organisation based on the responses of its own graduates.
