How to Apply

In preparing your application you should:

  1. Read the advertisement carefully as it includes valuable information that may assist with your application.

  2. Access the job description and read it in conjunction with the advertisement. You may find it useful to speak to the contact officer listed in the advertisement to clarify any issues.

  3. Complete the Application for Employment Cover Sheet. This is the covering sheet of your application.

  4. Prepare a thorough statement that addresses the selection criteria. This is an important part of your application as it is used by the selection panel to determine whether you are selected for interview. Describe how your skills and experience would enable you to satisfy the selection criteria. Give examples of relevant things you have done - either at work, privately or in the course of your studies. You should limit each response to 250 words.

  5. Attach a curriculum vitae that summarises your qualifications and work history. Include contact details for two referees (one should be your current or most recent supervisor). Should you wish to include any books, videos or other attachments, please label them clearly and for your own protection, do not include originals.

  6. Your application must reach us by close of business on the date stated in the advertisement and submitted by email to recruitment@ausport.gov.au (with attachments in Microsoft Word format), or telephone 02 6214 1328 if you have difficulty with this service.

What next? We will send you an acknowledgement email confirming that your application has been received. Normally it takes two weeks for the selection panel to arrange interviews. We advise all applicants in writing when the selection has been finalised.

You may enquire on the progress of your application with the Contact Officer any time.
