A career without compromise starts here.

At Grant Thornton, we see the world a little differently - not for how things are, but for how they could be. And when it comes to people, we see you differently too – with near limitless potential to unlock and harness.

Every day we seek to reach for remarkable - in the opportunities we unlock, the experience we share and the results we deliver. But unleashing the remarkable in each of us takes CARE, and that connects our passion with the purpose we live by. It’s why we go beyond in the way we care for our people, clients and communities, and support them to thrive, always.

A Vacation Program with a difference

You deserve a career as unique as you are.  At Grant Thornton, we strive to provide you with all the space, exposure, training and opportunities you need to truly pursue a career without compromise. 

Taking place over 4-6 weeks, our Vacation Program offers you a unique insight into what it’s like to provide accounting and advisory services to a wide range of complex and dynamic clients, and experience what life might be like as a Graduate with us.  Our approach is simple: we provide you with remarkable support, remarkable exposure and the opportunity to make a remarkable impact – allowing you to unlock your potential and explore a career filled with possibilities.

What we offer you:

  • A full-time, paid opportunity to gain work experience over your university break
  • Exposure to real client work and projects with a social/community impact
  • A plethora social and networking opportunities
  • Receive mentoring and regular on-the-job feedback from your assigned buddy and coaching manager
  • A structured learning program to support the development of your technical skills and commercial acumen

Best of all, a successful vacationer experience could also fast-track you to a graduate offer!

Your opportunity

Regardless of the size of their workforce, it’s vital for organisations to understand the tax considerations and implications that apply when it comes to remunerating and rewarding their people.

Our Employment Tax team provides expert advice and support to clients in the following areas to ensure that they are able to attract and retain top talent while optimising costs and managing compliance obligations

Joining the Remuneration Tax team as a vacationer will see you:

  • working closely with clients to understand their approach to remuneration and incentives, their industry and any relevant industrial relations obligations
  • reviewing and assess client policies, frameworks and procedures across various remuneration and incentive schemes
  • assisting a client with the lodgement of their annual returns
  • liaising with the ATO
  • drafting advice to clients on the tax implications of policy and legislative changes
  • keeping up to date with changes to tax policy, industrial relations and the case law rulings.

Eligibility

To be eligible for our 2024/2025 Vacation Program, you must be:

  • In your penultimate or final year of your undergraduate or postgraduate studies; and
  • An Australian or New Zealand Citizen, a Permanent Resident of Australia (subject to some conditions).

International students and graduates

Grant Thornton accepts applications from students who do not yet hold Australian permanent residency to enter our talent pools via our Expression of Interest.
