FAQ

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. Open the study dashboard free with no signup, or take any career's free practice test. You only pay when you want the full question bank, timed simulations and every study tool.

What if I buy it and it's not for me?

Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

No. Because you get the full question bank and study materials the moment you pay, all sales are final. Try the free test and the free dashboard first so you know it suits you. The one exception is the Pass Guarantee: complete the full prep, and if you still fail, we refund 100%.

What if I study and still fail?

That's what the Pass Guarantee is for. Answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, pass 2 timed simulations and reach a Readiness Score of 80, then sit your career's written or aptitude recruitment test within 60 days. If you don't pass that test, send the agency's notice within 30 days and we refund 100%. It covers the written or aptitude test, not fitness, medical, background or interview stages.

How long do I keep access?

For as long as your Premium subscription is active. Cancel any time from your account and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.

Is the content up to date?

We check every career page against the agency's current recruiting information and show the date it was last checked. In November 2026 that included Victoria Police's recruitment process (updated 27 September 2026), the QPS recruitment process, WA Police's eligibility and Physical Performance Evaluation standards, SAPOL's Recruitment Test (spelling and numeracy removed from 14 April 2025), NSW Police's Associate Degree in Applied Policing with Western Sydney University from 2026, the APS Values including Stewardship, and AGSVA's clearance timeframes.

Are these real test questions?

No. Recruitment test questions are confidential, and we don't copy agencies' official sample questions. Ours are original questions written to each career's real test sections (reading, writing, numeracy, reasoning and judgement) and the agency's published values, with an explanation for every answer.

Is this an official application?

No. AusGovCareer is an independent career-prep service, not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency. Nothing you do here is part of an agency's recruitment process. You apply only through the agency's own recruiting website, which we link to from every career page.

Do I still need the agency's own information?

Yes. The agency's recruiting website is the authority on eligibility, tests, fitness standards and dates, and some agencies publish free tutorials or sample questions. Read them first. We're the extra preparation: test-style practice, timed mocks, the hiring process step by step, interview practice, flashcards and a Readiness Score.

Does it cover more than the written test?

Yes. Each career is a complete hiring prep: the written or aptitude tests, every stage of the hiring process, eligibility rules, published fitness and medical standards, background and security checks, and interview questions with model-answer guidance. The Pass Guarantee covers the career's written or aptitude test.

Does one plan cover every career?

No. Premium is per career: each subscription unlocks one career (for example Victoria Police or the APS Graduate Program), and you pick it at checkout. Applying for two? Add a subscription for the second, and cancel each one when you no longer need it.

What does Premium include?

Everything for the career you choose, for as long as your subscription is active: the question bank, timed simulations, study notes, flashcards with spaced repetition, mind maps, video lessons as they release, your mistakes bank, detailed reports, the Readiness Score, all 5 bonuses and the Pass Guarantee.

How does the Pass Guarantee work?

Complete the full prep for your career: answer every question in the bank, read every study topic, finish 2 timed simulations with your latest at or above the pass mark, and reach a Readiness Score of 80. Then sit your career's written or aptitude recruitment test within 60 days while your access is active. If you don't pass that test, email us the agency's written notice within 30 days and we refund 100% of what you paid. It covers that test only, not fitness, medical, background or interview stages, or a decision not to hire you. Your dashboard tracks every requirement live.

What's the Readiness Score?

A 0 to 100 score on your dashboard that combines your accuracy, how much of the bank you've covered, your timed simulation results and your flashcard mastery. Reaching 80 takes consistent above-pass-mark work across the whole bank, which is why it is the bar for our guarantee.

What do I get with a free account?

Your saved free-test results, a starter Readiness Score, the first study-notes topic and flashcards for every career, the mind map outline, your mistakes bank and the Hiring Process Cheat Sheet. Upgrade any time to unlock the career you're preparing for.

Is it a subscription?

Yes. Premium is A$89 a month per career (about A$2.93 a day) and renews monthly until you cancel. You can cancel in two clicks from your account, and there's no minimum term. Most people study for 1 to 3 months. If you want a whole year for one career, the yearly plan is A$801 for 12 months (3 months free) and renews once a year until you cancel.

Can I get free access by referring friends?

Yes. Every account, including free ones, gets a personal referral link in the dashboard. Share it anywhere. Each person who signs up through your link and buys a plan earns you a referral ticket, and each ticket unlocks any career of your choice for 14 days.

Can my employer pay?

If you already work in the public service and are preparing for a new role, your agency may support your development. Check out with your work email and we'll send a receipt you can submit.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes. Everything works on phone, tablet and computer, and your progress syncs to your account.

Are you affiliated with any government agency?

No. AusGovCareer is an independent career-prep service, not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency, police force, the Australian Defence Force or any test provider. We use no government crests or logos. Agency and test names are used only to describe the careers we help you prepare for, and you apply only through each agency's own website.
