Applying For Jobs In APS :
All Australian Public Service (APS) vacancies for ongoing jobs, and non-ongoing jobs for more than 12 months, and certain employment decisions, are notified in the weekly electronic publication, the APS Employment Gazette (APSJOBS).

The Gazette is available to download as a PDF file on the homepage of apsjobs.gov.au. APS jobs are also advertised on individual Australian Government agency websites and some APS jobs are advertised on external job boards.
Types of jobs available:
The APS has entry level and management positions, technical positions as well as general administrative, service delivery and support roles across all sectors. Apprenticeship, Indigenous career pathways, school leaver and graduate programs are available across a wide range of APS departments and agencies. Full time, part time, temporary and contract opportunities at all levels of experience exist across a wide range of sectors.
Applying for jobs in the APS:
Applying for a job in the APS may be different from applying for a job elsewhere. This is due to the requirement for agencies to conduct a merit-based competitive selection process in many instances. Information and detailed guidelines on how to apply for jobs in the APS, along with frequently asked questions are available in the Recruitment Section of the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) website.
Eligibility:
Potential APS employees need to meet a number of eligibility requirements to be employed by the APS.
Citizenship requirements:
Most APS jobs are open to all Australian citizens; however, individual agencies may decide to employ non-Australian citizens. Further details about citizenship requirements for employees in the APS, is available from the Conditions of Engagement page on the APSC website. There may be other restrictions on who can be employed, as follows:
Existing APS employees:
Jobs open to existing APS employees only are marked in the Gazette with the symbol (?). APS employee means a person who is an ongoing APS employee or an ongoing Parliamentary Service employee at the time of the relevant Public Service Gazette notification.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders:
Identified positions are positions with specific selection criteria that signify that the role has a strong involvement in issues relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Identified positions are jobs that are open to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians who meet the selection criteria, which require:
** an understanding of the issues affecting Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people; and
** the ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with Indigenous communities.
Special measures provisions’ identify jobs that are restricted to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. These are to provide job opportunities for Indigenous people.
People with a disability:
The APS welcomes and encourages applications from people with a disability. Positions in the APS are able to be identified only open to people with intellectual disabilities under a special measures provision. To ensure people with a disability have access to the same opportunities as other people, reasonable adjustments are available to all who participate in recruitment activities, ongoing and non-ongoing employment with the APS.
Recipients of some redundancy benefits:
People who have received a redundancy benefit from the APS, the Parliamentary Service are excluded from APS employment for varying periods (depending on the amount of their redundancy benefit). Additional information on redundancy benefits and re-engagement can be found on the APSC website.
Security Clearances:
There are a number of Australian Government departments and agencies that require security clearances across a range of levels. APS employment notices will have listed any security requirements, and further information is available at the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency website.
