Please tell us about promotion possibilities and fill us in on what it takes to move up the ranks.
I was told there weren't that many opportunities in the last three years but this year we have a number of positions and promotion opportunities come around
Graduate, Melbourne - 05 Jun 2021
I have worked at my organisation for 3 years. I started as an APS2. I completed the grad program as an APS4 and am acting as an APS6. As long as you work hard you are rewarded.

Progression and pay rises can be a bit slow as recruiting rounds for higher pay brackets aren't run often.

Permanent promotion opportunities appear to be relatively infrequent. Temporary opportunities appear frequent.

Progression may be limited if you are in a smaller office and do not want to relocate.

Very competitive to get promotion
Midlevel, Melbourne - 27 May 2021
Can be limited at times, currently bulk recruitment offering opportunities for a lot of staff to advance.

To move up the ranks, they usually like to see that you already have the skills and determination to do what the level above is meant to do.
Midlevel, Sydney - 27 May 2021
Very rarely do permanent roles open up at high levels. Some acting opportunities. Pay increases between levels are small but typical of government.
Midlevel - 27 May 2021
There are many promotion possibilities however the process to get them is fundamentally flawed. Performing in the interview is all that matters to get a promotion
