Important information for applicants

Leadership competencies for Queensland

The leadership competencies are a tool we use to assist in many aspects of an employee’s life cycle, including recruitment.  They describe behaviours and actions used in everyday leadership, including self-leadership, and form part of the selection process.

Disclosure of work as a lobbyist

You must share have been employed as a lobbyist within the previous two years. This disclosure must be made during the selection process to the panel chair and again to your manager within the first month of your employment.

Probation

A minimum three-month probationary period applies to new permanent and fixed-term Queensland public service employees. The probation period may be extended if you haven’t had sufficient opportunity to demonstrate your suitability for the role, for example, due to extended leave. At the end of your probation, a decision will be made about confirming your ongoing employment.

Union encouragement

We acknowledge your right to join a union. Together Union is the recognised employee union. As part of your industrial arrangements, we provide Together Union with your name, workplace, and location so they can offer you information about the benefits of membership. Many of us move into senior roles across the justice system.
