The Northern Territory Government has invested in an online eRecruitment system to allow applicants and potential applicants to apply for jobs in an easy and user friendly way. The system allows you to search for specific job descriptions by agency / department or category, and submit your application.
After finding a vacancy you would like to apply for you will need to obtain a copy of the relevant job description, which includes details about the purpose, role, duties and responsibilities of the job, as well as the selection criteria that will be used to assess applicants.
Job descriptions provide information that will help you gain an understanding of the requirements of the job and may also include information about the work area, reporting relationships and the organisational and business environment of the department or agency.
If you have read the job description and have any questions about the job or the workings of the department or agency, the contact person identified in the job description will usually be the best place to start looking for an answer. Alternatively find out more about NT Government agencies.
You can submit your application online through this website, by email to recruitmentjobvacancies@nt.gov.au, or by fax or regular mail to the address quoted on the applicant information sheet.
How to apply online
This is our preferred way of receiving job applications. Simply follow the prompts on each page. When you are satisfied that you have supplied all of the information necessary to apply for the job, follow the instructions for submitting your application.
Select the vacancy you wish to apply for. This will take you to the vacancy description page. At the top of the screen you should see a button titled 'Apply Online'. Click this button. Please note, however, that some agencies might request that applications be forwarded directly to their own contact office, in which case the button will not appear.
Clicking the 'Apply Online' button will take you to the online application form. You will notice that the vacancy description details appear at the top; please check that these details are correct and that you are applying for the correct vacancy.
Please note that all fields marked with > must be completed before your application can be submitted. Note that any documents you attach as part of your application must be in a format that is compatible with Microsoft Word 97 or Adobe Acrobat.
Submitting your application
Once you have completed your application and attached your supporting documents you can then submit your application by clicking the 'Submit' button. There are a couple of extra buttons available to assist you - one is the 'Check Application' button, which can be used to check if you have forgotten to complete any mandatory fields (this is also automatically checked when you use the 'Submit' button); the other is the 'Print Application' button, which you can use to produce a printer-friendly copy of your application for your records (note: this will not print the contents of your attached documents).
After you have submitted your application you will be sent an acknowledgment, either by email or by written correspondence, depending on your preference.
