• have all your supporting documents saved and ready to upload, such as your resume and proof of registration.

Make sure you know what the closing date for the job application is. You can’t submit an application after that date.

You can also start an application, save a draft and submit it when you’re ready.

What happens after you apply

We’ll contact you by email and let you know if you’ve been selected for an interview or if you’ve been unsuccessful.
