Career prep built around how government hiring really works
Getting a government job in Australia isn't one test. It's an eligibility check, written or aptitude tests, often fitness and medical standards, background and security checks, and an interview scored against published values. We built AusGovCareer to prepare you for all of it.
How we write questions
We don't use real or "recalled" test questions, and we don't copy agencies' sample questions. Each question is original, written to the sections the real test is known to cover (reading, writing, numeracy, reasoning and judgement) and to the agency's published values and capability frameworks, such as the APS Values or a police force's selection criteria. Every explanation shows the method or the value behind the answer.
How we keep it current
Recruiting rules change often: tests are replaced, exemptions widen and fitness standards are revised. We review every career page against the agency's current recruiting information and show when it was last checked (currently November 2026). Where an agency doesn't publish a figure, we say so instead of guessing.
How we fit with the official information
The agency's recruiting website is the authority, and you apply only through it. AusGovCareer adds what most candidates say they're missing: lots of test-style practice, timed mocks, the hiring process laid out step by step, interview questions with model-answer guidance, flashcards and a Readiness Score that tells you when you're ready. We're an independent career-prep service, not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.
