There are numerous benefits to working for the government. Government departments are usually committed to attracting and retaining the best possible talent. For them to achieve this goal they create beneficial working conditions that many private sector employees don't experience. These include things like flexible hours, leave for most life events and salary packaging. They are also committed to offering not only jobs, but careers.
If you are interested in a position that has varied opportunities with the chance to make a difference, where solid social values are rewarded and shared, then government employment might be worth looking at. Government positions often have great training and advancement opportunities as well as a focus on work/life balance and leave. You can also expect a fair and supportive work environment with a culture that values teamwork, learning and development. A number of government organisations assign you a buddy to help you settle in and answer any questions you may have.
