In addition to the necessary qualifications, all candidates are required to undertake or provide:
Referees - Make sure your application includes the names, job titles, telephone numbers and email addresses of two contactable, professional (work-related) referees. These should include a direct report and/or current employer within the last 5 years. Written references are not required with your initial application. Please note, referee statements gained during this selection process will be deemed confidential information and will be classed as exempt documents under the Freedom of Information Act (1982).
Police check - Council will complete a National Criminal History check for all potential employees.
Working with Children Check - Council is committed to creating a child safe and child friendly environment, and requires all employees have current Working with Children cards. If you are the successful candidate, Council will pay for the check if you don’t already have one.
Pre-employment Medical - Certain positions call for employees to complete a pre-employment medical.
Alcohol and other drug - As part of the pre-employment check process, you will be required to undertake an alcohol and other drug screening test at Council’s nominated medical clinic. If further testing is required, this will be arranged by the Organisational Development unit.
Proof of eligibility/Australian working rights - In some circumstances we may ask you to provide proof of eligibility to work in Australia, either in the form of a passport or birth certificate identifying Australian citizenship, or a valid work visa.
