If you are from New Zealand or overseas, and are considering a move to Western Australia, please read the information on the Migration WA website.
To be eligible for employment, you must have one of the following when you lodge your application:
- Be an Australian citizen or have permanent residency status in Australia for a permanent appointment to the WA public sector.
- New Zealand citizens require a Special Category Visa with unrestricted stay and working rights to be eligible for a permanent appointment to the WA public sector.
- Documentary evidence (i.e. working visa) of your entitlement to live and work in Australia for the duration of your fixed-term employment.
You must attain a satisfactory Working with Children Check. Other screening checks you must undertake include a National Criminal Check, Client and Child Protection Check, Integrity Checks and Open-Source Check.
Applicants holding a visa or requiring sponsorship will be assessed on a case-by-case basis subject to operational needs in regional locations. Please email the Child Protection Careers team if you do not already have working rights in Australia before applying for roles in WA.
Before you apply
- Review the job advertisement and job description form (JDF) to ensure you are eligible to apply.
- Ensure you meet or have demonstrated your capacity to meet the essential requirements.
Note: If you don’t meet all the selection criteria in the JDF, we still encourage you to apply.
