RecruitAbility scheme

We take part in the APS RecruitAbility scheme to support employment of people with disability.

The APS RecruitAbility scheme only includes our roles based in Australia. It does not cover our overseas roles.

Eligibility

Under the scheme, applicants will automatically progress in the assessment process if they:

  • identify as having disability
  • opt into the scheme
  • meet the minimum job requirements.

The Australian Public Service Commission defines ‘disability’ for employment-related purposes.

Selection process

If you opt into the scheme, you may skip steps in the assessment process. This gives you the pathway to show your skills and experience for the role.

We follow a merit-based selection process to find the most suitable candidate for the role.
