Australia APS Jobs: Official Public-Service Recruitment Guide

APS Jobs (apsjobs.gov.au) lists Australian Public Service vacancies by classification (APS1-6, EL1-2, SES), agency and location. The position description — not the search snippet — defines duties, clearance, and selection criteria.

Applying well

Read citizenship (Australian citizen usually required at engagement) and baseline/negative vetting where the advert lists them. Prepare examples using the agency's requested capability framework (often the Integrated Leadership System — ILS). Address selection criteria concisely with STAR examples and submit through the vacancy's official workflow — emailed CVs are rarely accepted and paper applications are not kept. Location can be flexible or advertised as remote/hybrid; the advert controls it.

Common misunderstandings

Citizenship cannot be waived after application; some agencies require citizenship at application, others at engagement — check the advert's phrasing. Merit pools frequently fill future vacancies; being in a pool is not a job offer until the agency contacts you.
