We are seeking talented people with a broad cross section of skills, experience and qualifications to register for our Temporary Employment Register (TER). The TER assists with filling temporary positions (up to a possible maximum period of 18 months for non-ongoing employment) across The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (the Department), the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA) and is open for candidates to register an interest in employment at the APS Level 2 - Executive Level 2 classifications.

You don’t need to have experience in a government department or the health sector as our staff have backgrounds in a range of fields in both the public and private sectors. Candidates should be aware this is a register only and that you will only be contacted regarding your application if a vacancy arises that matches your skills, qualifications and/or experience.

You will be required to select job categories that best match your experience, skills and capabilities as well as outlining transferable skills you possess. Listed below are the broad categories of work found across the Department, TGA and IHACPA:

- Corporate and Administration
- Health, Science and Engineering
- Policy, Program and Project Management
- Data, Research and Analysis.

- Satisfactory completion of a nationally co-ordinated criminal history check, and where relevant, a Working with Children and Vulnerable People Check.
- Completion of a medical declaration and pre-employment medical (where required).
- Providing evidence of qualifications (where required); and
- Obtaining and maintaining a security clearance at the required level.
