Frequently asked questions
I am a non-ongoing (temporary) employee. How can I become an ongoing (permanent) employee?
To become an ongoing employee of the APS, you must apply for an advertised ongoing employment opportunity and be the successful candidate based on a merit selection process.
If you are a non-ongoing employee you can apply for any job advertised as ongoing, or as non-ongoing with the possibility of becoming ongoing. This includes vacancies that are advertised as restricted to existing APS employees. In this context, you are regarded as an APS employee if you are employed in the APS on the date the vacancy is advertised in the Gazette (regardless of whether you are still employed at the date of interview or filling).
