Vacation employment, which can be paid or unpaid, is an excellent way
to get your first job in the public service. Vacation employment allows
you to “get your foot in the door” and learn government policies and
processes so that you are better equipped when you apply
for a permanent position. Vacation employment is generally
administered by each individual agency.
Ex NSW public servants who
accepted Redundancy Packages or who
have been dismissed due to
misconduct may also face restrictions on re-entry.
Conditions of Service
Most departments and agencies provide pay
and conditions under their own legislation,
industrial award or agreement. You should check with the Human
Resources area of the department or agency to see if other
arrangements apply.
