Temporary employment register
Comcare maintains a register of individuals interested in short-term temporary employment (non-ongoing of less than 12 months) at the APS 1 to 4 levels.
The register enables Comcare to access individuals to fill short-term administrative roles at short notice in all our offices in Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Placement on the register and submitting your application
1. Download the Temporary Employment Register Application Form [doc]
2. Complete the form
3. Email the form to: temporaryemploymentregister@comcare.gov.au
along with your current resume.
Applications will remain on our temporary employment register for six months and applicants are encouraged to lodge a new application if their employment and personal details change, or at the expiry of the six months registration period (if they wish to remain registered). Placement on the temporary employment register does not guarantee an offer of employment.
Eligibility requirements
To be eligible for non-ongoing employment you must meet the same requirements as you would for ongoing positions such as:
- must be Australian Citizen
- six months probation
- pre-employment medical assessment
- if you have redundancy benefit from an Australian Public Service agency, the Australian Parliamentary Service or the Murray-Darling Basin Commission employer, you are ineligible for engagement as a non-ongoing employee until the “redundancy period” has expired
- character and security check
- reference checks.
Salary and conditions
Terms and conditions will be in accordance with Comcare’s Collective Agreement 2007-2010 [pdf]. The actual level of engagement will depend on the duties to be performed.
