How to apply

​​Apollo is delivered together with Employ for Ability, and we offer a supportive and inclusive recruitment process.

We will advertise opportunities within the Apollo Program once a year through the APS jobs website. To apply, you must create an account in Success Factors to register and use our recruitment website. When completing the online application you will need to provide:

  • your current resume
  • personal information, including details of your two referees
  • evidence as listed on the Eligibility section
  • a one (1) page document (minimum 11pt font in MSWord or PDF format) that provides more information about you to support your application for this opportunity and respond to questions asked.

After the closing date, we will assess all applicants using a selection process that involves three stages over several weeks. You will need to be rated Suitable for each stage of the selection process to move onto the next stage.

The three stages of the Apollo selection process are:

  1. Application Assessment
  2. Screening Workshop
  3. Home Affairs led Assessment.​

Offers and acceptance

Once Stage 3 is completed, we will advise if you are suitable or not suitable. All suitable candidates will be placed into a Merit Pool.

We will advise successful candidates of an offer of employment via email or telephone. At this time candidates that accept an offer must begin the Employment Suitability Clearance (ESC) process and the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) clearance. 

We will not offer all suitable candidates a position. We recommend that you do not give notice to your current employer until we have made a formal Offer of Employment and you have obtained the required clearances.

We will advise unsuccessful candidates either in person or via telephone that they have not received an offer of employment and will inform of any next steps.
