SBS has announced the launch of its 2025 Journalism Cadetship program, a 12-month initiative aimed at developing the skills and experience of journalism graduates. The Cadetship will be dedicated to the memory of late SBS News journalist, Bridget Munro, from 2025 onwards.

The program offers journalism graduates the opportunity to work in SBS’s cross-platform newsroom in Sydney, with placements in Melbourne and Canberra. Cadets will work across a variety of SBS programs including Dateline, Insight, NITV News and current affairs, and SBS multilingual programs.

In 2025, SBS will offer three cadetship positions, including one identified placement for an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander candidate, supported by NITV (National Indigenous Television).

Applications for the SBS Journalism Cadetship are open until 6 September, while applications for the SBS Indigenous Journalism Cadetship are open until 30 September, with the possibility of extension. All Cadetships will commence in February 2025.

"We are honoured to dedicate the SBS News and Current Affairs Cadetship to our late colleague and friend, Bridget Munro. Her passion for journalism and mentorship was infectious and has left an indelible mark on SBS. We aim to continue Bridget’s legacy through this program," said Mandi Wicks, SBS Director of News and Current Affairs.

Bridget Munro (pictured) was a senior news producer at SBS who made a significant contribution to journalism and the SBS community. She passed away suddenly from a short illness in November 2023.

This initiative not only provides a platform for aspiring journalists but also serves as a tribute to Munro's impactful career and dedication to the field of journalism.
