As part of that process it is necessary for a character assessment to be developed.

If you would like to be placed on a Non-ongoing (Temporary) Employment Register you may be subject to an interview and an Australian Federal Police records check. To be eligible for employment you must be an Australian Citizen and if you have received a redundancy benefit from an Australian Public Service (APS) agency, the Australian Parliamentary Service or the Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) limitations to when you are able to be employed may apply. The limitations are linked to the level of redundancy benefit received. More information on redundancy benefit conditions can be obtained from the Australian Public Service Commission website.
