If required, contact the hiring manager or contact officer with any specific questions about the role that aren’t addressed in the job ad.
Complete all compulsory fields (marked with a red asterisk (*) in the online form before saving each page.
Check the details you’ve provided in your application and cover letter -such as your contact mobile and landline numbers, , email address, role reference number (e.g. 0000XXXX), and the name of the hiring manager or contact - are correct.
Complete the online work history and education fields in the online application form to highlight your knowledge, skills, experience and achievements.
Review your responses to any open-ended (‘targeted’) questions in the application form and make sure your responses succinctly demonstrate relevant capabilities.
List the details of at least two referees who can be contacted later in the assessment process.

Submit your application online via the I work for NSW website before the nominated closing date and time.

If you are still completing your application when the cut-off time comes into effect, you will not be able to submit your application.
Don’t delete any attachments for this application from your I work for NSW profile until you’ve been notified of the outcome of the recruitment process.
Every time you apply for a new role, take the time to tailor your application, including your resume and cover letter, for that role.
