Indigenous Graduate/Employee Profile
Daniel May Franks, ASIC 2018 Business Graduate
‘My family originate from the Kamilaroi mob and are currently living on Tharawal land. I heard about ASIC’s
prestigious reputation from my mum and uncle when I was close to graduating. At that time, I was unsure of where
I wanted to start my career. From there, I went online and researched ASIC before applying online. I joined ASIC in
January 2018, finished the graduate program and I am currently working as a Project Officer in ASIC’s Assessment
and Intelligence group.
To be a successful ASIC graduate, you will need to be someone that embraces change, continuous learning and
development, and loves variety. As a graduate at ASIC, from day one you’ll be exposed to a diverse range of work.’
