Malicious cyber activity is a threat to Australian businesses and individuals. While technology is part of the solution, the most critical need is for skilled and motivated people to help secure our communities.

That’s why we created the CIA Academy.

The CIA Academy is a paid, permanent full-time training opportunity designed to launch your career in cyber security. No prior experience is necessary. If you want to embark on a rewarding, meaningful career, then you’re in the right place. 

The CIA Academy program provides you with a blend of formal training and practical on-the-job experience alongside a 1,300-strong workforce of cyber security professionals.

The CIA Academy launched in July 2022 and has already trained more than 200 Academy Associates who work in our offices across the Australian cities of Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth, and in the New Zealand cities of Christchurch and Auckland.
