Found a Job You Want to Apply For?

• Answer the questions displayed - addressing the selection criteria is key to being considered for an interview.
• It is important to provide evidence to back up your claims. Use actual examples of what you have done, how well you did it, what you achieved, and how it relates to the requirements of the job you are applying for.
• You may wish to prepare your responses to the selection criteria in advance (e.g. by saving them in a WORD document).This will make the application process easier and faster. Once saved, you can 'copy and paste' text into the online application form.
• Ensure that your CV is up to date and reflects the experience, skills and qualifications relevant to the position you are applying for.
• Upload your CV and a Covering Letter.
• Contact your referees in advance to ensure that they are willing to speak with us and that their contact details are up to date.
• Allow yourself enough time to submit your application by the advertised closing date.

Please note that applications must be submitted before 10.00 pm on the closing date for the position.

After you have submitted an online application for a role, the selection process will commence as follows:

• Assessment & Shortlisting - We will refer to your application to assess your skills, knowledge and experience against the requirements of the job. Applicants who do not meet the essential criteria will not be considered. Candidate assessment, shortlisting and culling occur after each step of the selection process.
• The Interview - If your application progresses through initial shortlisting, the next stage(s) will involve a face-to-face (or online) interview, sometimes combined with a practical exercise. The interview may involve a single interview panel consisting of three or more assessors. The interview will include a series of behavior-based questions designed around the selection criteria to enable you to demonstrate how you have successfully met the requirements of the role. You can prepare for the interview by reviewing the position description and reflecting on how you’ve demonstrated these capabilities in the workplace or through your studies.
• Reference Checking - If you’re being considered for the role, we will contact you to obtain 2 referees. Ideally, your referees should be your current and previous supervisors who can discuss your suitability for the role based on the job requirements. Reference checks will be completed prior to offering you employment.
• Other checks: where relevant, a pre-employment medical examination, Working with Children Check, and/or a copy of relevant qualifications may be requested. For information on how to apply for a WWCC number please refer to the Office of the Children's Guardian website.
• Notification to Applicants - If you are unsuccessful you will be notified by email at the end of the process. If you have any questions throughout the recruitment process you are welcome to contact the People & Culture Team at (02) 9911 3555.
