About the Temporary Employment Register The PWSS seeks to attract, develop and retain diverse, enthusiastic and high-performing employees. To help us in achieving this, we maintain a temporary employment register of interested applicants that the PWSS can use to fill a variety of employment opportunities across various classifications and business areas. The positions may be full time, part time or casual depending on individual team needs.

The register may be utilised to access candidates to fill roles at short notice in areas such as learning and development, workplace health and safety, counselling and support, human resources, project delivery, policy development, corporate functions, administrative support including Executive Assistants and more!





To help us better match you with a role that suits your employment preferences, interests and skills, we want to know more about you and the work that you are interested in, and we will collect this information through your application.
