The Australian Bureau of Statistics engages non-ongoing employees to fill short and medium-term vacancies. The ABS offers non-ongoing employment in a range of areas and at a range of levels, including:
- Customer Service / Call Centre
- Clerical / Office Administration
- Human Resource Management
- Project Management
- Information Technology
- Data Entry
- others as requested
The terms and conditions for non-ongoing employees are similar to those for ongoing employees and are covered by the ABS Certified Agreement. To find out more see our Why work at the ABS page.
Eligibility
To be eligible for non-ongoing employment, there are a number of requirements that you must meet.
- Australian citizenship. To be eligible for employment with the ABS, you must be an Australian citizen.
- Redundancy benefits. If you have received a redundancy benefit from an APS agency or from the Australian Parliamentary Service, you are not normally considered for re-employment prior to the expiry of the redundancy benefit period. However a redundancy benefit recipient may be engaged as a non-ongoing (non-SES employee) for a period of less than six months subject to Australian Statistician approval. To confirm your eligibility please refer to link for additional information http://www.apsc.gov.au/employmentpolicy/reengageredundancy.htm
- Integrity check. The ABS must verify you are of good character through an integrity check. This involves:
- a Police Records Check (PRC); and
- confirming the details given in your employment application (including employment history, employment references, educational qualifications, and professional memberships).
If the ABS receives unsatisfactory reports on any of the above eligibility checks, you may be assessed as unsuitable for employment. If you have been offered the position, the offer may be withdrawn.
How to Apply
The ABS maintains a Non-ongoing (Temporary) Employment Register where you can lodge your interest in obtaining non-ongoing employment. The Non-ongoing Register is primarily used to fill short-term non-ongoing positions at short notice, however opportunities for longer term employment may arise from time to time.
Specific non-ongoing positions may also be advertised separately to the Non-ongoing (Temporary) Employment Register.
Both the Non-ongoing (Temporary) Employment Register and specific non-ongoing vacancies are advertised via the Current Vacancies page, where details on how to apply are provided.
