How we help you apply
RecruitAbility
We use RecruitAbility for all advertised vacancies, except those advertised under a disability affirmative measure.
Affirmative measure – disability employment
The Affirmative measure for disability employment helps improve representation of people with disability in the Australian Public Service (APS).
The measure can apply to any vacancy. It is not only for jobs that involve disability-related work.
We use the disability affirmative measure for some jobs we advertise.
To apply for an affirmative measure vacancy, you must provide evidence that you have a disability. You do not need to tell us about the type of disability, unless the vacancy is only open to people with a particular type of disability.
Recruitment adjustments
We want our recruitment process to be fair and inclusive. You can ask for an adjustment at any stage of the process.
Adjustments may include:
- accessible hardware or software
- extra time to complete an assessment
- recruitment materials in an accessible or alternative format
- clear written or visual information about the interview process
- an interpreter, reader, attendant or other work-related help
- an interview by phone, video or in person
- interview questions in advance
- extra time for an interview
- a support person
- other adjustments that meet your needs.
If we offer you a job, you can also ask for workplace adjustments during onboarding.
We use the APS Inclusive Onboarding Toolkit: Disability and Neurodivergence for an inclusive, accessible, safe, and informed onboarding process.
