When submitting your application, please be sure that you respond to all the mandatory questions, complete your responses to the selection criteria and upload a copy of your resume and your most recent academic transcript.

The Selection Process consists of seven (7) clear stages which are outlined below:
 Stage 1 - Advertising and Eligibility |
Stage 2 - Online Application Form |
| Stage 3 - Shortlisting |
| Stage 4 - Online Written Assessment |
| Stage 5 - Interview |
Stage 6 - Referees |

Please note, other than your written application and interview, considerations that may form part of your assessment and possible placement to specific graduate roles may include your professional qualifications, skills and experience, the needs of the ABS, the expectations and duties of the classification and position, any preferences you indicate and your willingness/capacity to relocate to where the position is available. This is so the ABS can place successful graduates to various locations around Australia requiring certain qualifications and skill sets, and provide you with the best opportunity to grow your ABS career.
