The Australian Public Service (APS) and some other public sector agencies recruit through a centralised testing system as well as through advertising in newspapers. A number of private recruitment agencies, whose addresses you can find in the yellow pages, also arrange employment in the APS. The following gives information on where to find public sector positions.
This is the publication for Australian Protection Service, Australian Customs Service and Graduate vacancies. The "Gazette" is published each Thursday. To get the "Gazette", you can:
read it at some public and university libraries | |
find it on the touch screens at Centrelink offices, under the occupation category of Government and Administration. | |
check Australian Jobsearch website at http://www.jobsearch.gov.au by selecting Government and Administration. | |
purchase from Government Info Shops. Telephone: 132447 |
Some vacancies are advertised in the general press, most frequently on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
Resumes can be lodged with Australia's largest online job database at http://www.jobsearch.gov.au through "Lodge a Resume". This is a free service. Most of the positions are private sector positions. You will need an email account. If you do not have one, you can get a free address through Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com. The local libraries have free internet access.
