When you apply, we'll ask you to tell us about your skills and experience and how they align with ASIO's core capability criteria. These are capabilities that are important for all ASIO officers and, along with your CV, will demonstrate your suitability for the role you've applied for. You can find more information about expectations at different levels through the core capability guide.
While the recruitment process varies between roles, everyone who joins ASIO will go through an interview and security vetting process. The vetting process will require you to supply a fair amount of information about you and your life, undergo a security interview, and an interview with a psychologist. Read more about obtaining a security clearance.
Once you've applied, we will keep you updated throughout the recruitment process. You will need to be in Australia for each stage of the process.
We will advise you of the outcome of your application whether it be successful or unsuccessful. However, we do not provide feedback for unsuccessful candidates.
The application and recruitment process for jobs at ASIO can take some time. The timeframe from applying to receiving an offer of employment is longer than other processes due to security clearance requirements.
