Joining TAL as a graduate
We’re looking for graduates who want to bring their passion and skills to a business that makes a real difference to the lives of Australians.
At TAL, there’s no limit to where your career can go. We only take a small number of graduates each year, so they’re highly sought-after right across the business. Graduates work alongside industry thought-leaders with support from dedicated sponsors, buddies and career managers.
Our program is designed to help graduates be the best they can be.
We believe in challenging you
The two-year TAL graduate program has been designed to challenge graduates by immersing them in four key areas of our business, both within their field of study and beyond, ensuring they gain a holistic view of our business across the entire life insurance lifecycle.
We provide development pathways tailored to your goals, to help you gain the skills you need to grow. This includes support for further related study and professional qualifications, where relevant, e.g., Actuarial Education Assistance, FSAA of the IAA and CA, plus study and exam leave.

My internship in TAL Finance gave me the opportunity to learn, grow and develop important skills through my exposure to various pieces of work and my connection with a range of people across the organisation.
What attracted me to TAL's Graduate Program, above all else, was the positive vibes I got from the company culture and the interest the organisation has in developing graduates into future leaders. Given the small cohort, there are intimate development and support opportunities, including the flexibility to take up a role in a department outside of your core skill set.
