Selection Process
The specialist nature of ASIS's work demands the highest levels of dedication, integrity and professionalism from our staff. For this reason, our selection processes are competitive and rigorous. Employment decisions are based on an assessment of a person's skills, knowledge, professional attributes and organisational suitability, which is reflected in the selection process.
Candidates will need to be available in Australia for each stage of the selection process. The earliest possible advice will be given to short-listed candidates regarding specific times and dates for each stage of the process. More detail is available on the Intelligence Officer and Specialist Officer pages.
All applications for employment with ASIS are handled in the strictest confidence. It is essential that you maintain a similar level of confidentiality and that you not discuss your application with anyone, as this could impact on your career with ASIS. If your application is successful, you’ll be able to discuss the process of telling someone of your employment with ASIS.
Do not include any data in your application which is classified higher than the Commonwealth classification of 'IN-CONFIDENCE'.
If you wish to include data in your application which is classified higher than 'IN-CONFIDENCE', please indicate in the 'Additional Comments' section of the application form that you have further classified information which you feel is relevant to the success of your application.. Should ASIS determine it necessary to discuss this classified information with you, this will be done via secure means at a later stage.
