The job application process will help you understand the steps in the recruitment process - you will have a better idea of when you are likely to hear from the employing agency and what to expect next.
Selection for Victorian Government positions is based on merit. From the applications received, a short-list is selected and these people are then interviewed by a recruitment selection panel. The aim is to select the person whose skills, knowledge, personal qualities and experience best match the job requirements, as defined by the selection criteria.
Our e-recruitment system means we can now accept online applications and process these through a candidate management system. Please keep in mind that a range of factors may affect the time taken to fill jobs, such as the number of applications received and when selection interviews can be arranged.
