The selected candidate will undergo pre-employment checks, which may include national police checks and misconduct screening.

If you need adjustments during the recruitment process or require alternative formats for application materials, please contact the designated person listed in this advertisement.

For all VPS employees, due to the new Jobs Skills Exchange (JSE) policy, please apply through the JSE to be considered for this position in the initial round.

Priority consideration applies to Victorian Public Service (VPS) employees and select employees of the Victorian Public Sector who apply through the Jobs Skills Exchange (JSE) jobs board platform.

Aboriginal candidates are encouraged to seek support from the Aboriginal Employment Team throughout the recruitment process for cultural guidance and assistance.

Commitment to Child Safety:

The Department of Justice and Community Safety is committed to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. We strive to prevent any form of harm affecting children and young people and maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, child abuse, and inequality.
