Frequently Asked Questions
Federal government careers span policy officers shaping national programs, service delivery staff supporting citizens through agencies like Centrelink and the ATO, corporate roles across finance, HR and IT, and specialist technical positions in science, law, defence and international affairs.
Requirements vary enormously by role and classification level, from entry-level positions requiring minimal formal qualifications through to specialist roles requiring specific degrees or professional accreditation. What matters most is demonstrated capability against the APS work level standards for each classification.
Positions are advertised through the APSJobs website and individual agency career pages, typically requiring applicants to address selection criteria alongside their resume. Graduate programs offer structured entry for university leavers, while lateral recruitment suits experienced professionals from other sectors.
No, while Canberra hosts significant policy and head office roles, federal agencies operate offices and service delivery centres across every state and territory. Service delivery agencies in particular employ substantial numbers of staff outside Canberra, including in regional locations.
Staff progress through APS classification levels from entry positions through Executive Level and ultimately Senior Executive Service roles. The federal public service offers genuinely long-term career pathways, with mobility between agencies and functions supporting broad professional development. Secondments across agencies also broaden experience and support faster career growth.
