Application Process

  1. How to apply

    You can find details of our current vacancies on the Queensland Government SmartJobs website. You may also like to consider setting up a SmartJobs alert so you can be notified of any roles that may suit your employment, qualifications and location preferences.

    Some business areas may advertise roles specifically for graduates in the relevant field, however A02 and A03 level roles also provide great entry level opportunities for graduates within the department.

  2. Teacher application process

    To apply to teach in Queensland state schools, apply through the online portal on the Teach Queensland website. While our application process is open year round, we encourage preservice teachers to submit their application as early as possible in their final year of study to ensure that you are considered for roles that match your teaching and location preferences.

  3. Policy Futures graduate program

    The Queensland Government Policy Futures graduate program provides exciting opportunities for graduates looking to make a real and tangible difference in a rewarding public sector career, including within the education sector.
