Temporary Employment Register
The Temporary Employment Register enables Finance to access appropriately skilled and experienced candidates at short notice.
The duration of a non-ongoing vacancy may range from one week to several months. If a position becomes available for a period of longer than 12 months, it will be advertised for ongoing filling in APSJobs, unless the existing order of merit is utilised.
Candidates are sought across a range of disciplines, from the highly specialised to the more generic.
Eligibility
All Australian citizens, who have not accepted a redundancy benefit are eligible to apply for placement on Finance’s Temporary Employment Register.
Candidates who have received a redundancy benefit from an Australian Public Service (APS) Agency, or the Australian Parliamentary Service must serve the redundancy benefit period before applying for subsequent employment. The ‘redundancy benefit period’ is calculated by dividing the amount of your redundancy benefit (gross amount in dollars) by the weekly salary that was used to calculate the benefit.
Security
It is a condition of your employment with the Department of Finance and Deregulation that you are able to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the required level. If you do not have a security clearance at the required level, you will need to go through the security clearance process with the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA).
Finance will sponsor your security clearance and you will be required to complete an online security clearance application and provide certified copies of personal documents directly to AGSVA. The checking required to grant a security clearance cannot begin until both the online application and the hardcopy documents have been received by AGSVA. The checking process can take up to four weeks.
Salary and Conditions of Engagement
The salary and conditions of engagement for non-ongoing employment will be based on Finance’s employment framework. More information on terms and conditions can be viewed at Working at Finance.
Applicants offered a long term contract (from 6 - 12 months) may be subject to a probationary period.
Positions may be available as full time, part time or casual depending on the employment opportunity.
Please note: Placement on the Temporary Employment Register does not guarantee an offer of employment.
