We're inclusive and welcoming, embracing diverse backgrounds and perspectives. It's the best of both worlds – we're small enough to feel a real sense of belonging and big enough to have a meaningful impact through our empowering mandate.​

Here from some of our recent interns and graduates:​

"At the very start, we were given training and an overview of virtually every aspect of the FMA which made us understand how the organisation operates and how different teams work together."​

"There are virtually no barriers to who I can talk to within the FMA. Higher ups in the organisation are very approachable and we are encouraged to connect with them".​

"People around me make an effort to give me interesting and varied work. I feel that my work makes a real difference to the broader community".​
