2. Do I need qualifications to apply?
This will depend on the particular job. Most positions in Defence do not require specific qualifications. However, those that do will state them clearly in the job specific Information Pack.

3. Does age matter?
All APS jobs @ Defence are filled according to a merit based selection process. Apart from the minimum age requirement for employment in each Australian state and territory, age is not a consideration when assessing applicants for employment opportunities.

4. What is merit?
We recruit staff based on merit, which means that from a field of applicants, we need to select the best person for the job. To do this we compare and weigh-up the skills, experience and abilities of each candidate. We use different tools and techniques, such as written applications, interviews and/or work-sample tests, to collect the evidence we need to make a merit-based decision.

5. I have a disability - will I be excluded from the recruitment process?
You can not be excluded if your application shows you are able to undertake the inherent requirements of the job if reasonable adjustments are put in place.
However, you can be excluded from the recruitment process based on merit and comparative assessment of applicants.
