Your application will need to include a covering letter and your resume. These will need to be uploaded into the online system once you have created your login.
You will be requested to address either the Selection Criteria or Core Capabilities that are outlined in the Position Description. Please check the advertisement to confirm which of these you must address.
Your covering letter should tell us about you, your capabilities, personality and suitability for the role you are applying for.
To address either the Key Selection Criteria and Core Capabilities, you will need to write a short paragraph for each point explaining how you meet the criteria, or how you demonstrate the capability.
You need to address these individually as part of your covering letter and use a heading to highlight which criteria/capability you are addressing.
It can be useful to support your claim with an example following the Context Action Result approach:
Context - What was the situation; where and when did it take place?
Action - What did you do in response to the situation and how did you go about it?
Result - What was the result of your actions?
Examples can come from all sorts of situations including previous jobs, experience gained outside of work or from formal study.
We encourage you to keep your responses concise but impactful, aiming for one to two paragraphs per criteria / capability. Your efforts will ensure we have rich and relevant information to inform our shortlisting decisions.
