An outcome about your application will be provided once the recruitment process has been finalised. Updates on applications cannot be provided while the recruitment process is in progress.
Will applicants living outside of the listed cities be considered?

I currently have a novated lease agreement, can I continue this in my new role at Australian Digital Health Agency?
Salary packaging is administrated for the Agency by the provider, SmartSalary, and novate leasing is a product offering of this company. If you are currently with provider SmartSalary you can continue your novated lease agreement. Detailed information on novated leasing can be found on the SmartSalary website.
I currently contribute additional amounts to my superannuation. Can I do this at the Agency?
Yes, this is possible. Superannuation packaging is administrated internally by the Agency, which means there are no administration fees involved.
Can I transfer my annual leave balance to the Agency?
If you’re an ongoing employee transferring from another Australian Public Service (APS) agency (under section 26 of the Public Service Act 1999), or a non-ongoing APS or Agency employee, your annual leave can be transferred, provided that there is no break in service.
Employees from the Parliamentary Service or ACT Government may also transfer their annual leave if they haven’t been paid out on cessation. Annual leave cannot be transferred from other Commonwealth employers or state and territory governments or private businesses.
Can I transfer my personal/carer’s leave balance to the Agency?
Yes, if you’re transferring from another Australian Public Service agency (either ongoing or non-ongoing), or from the Parliamentary Service or ACT Government Services, your personal leave can be transferred if there’s no break in service.
If you’re joining the Agency on an ongoing basis from any other Commonwealth employer, or from a state or territory government, your personal leave balance may be recognised subject to criteria and Agency delegate approval prior to commencement.
Can I transfer my long service leave balance to the Agency?
Long service leave can be transferred if you’re coming from another Australian Public Service agency, or from the Parliamentary or ACT Government services, provided there’s no break in service and you haven’t received a payout.
If you’re joining from a Commonwealth employer or state or territory government, your leave balances can’t be transferred but the Agency may recognise your prior service commencement date to count as continuous service for long service leave purposes; this requires Agency delegate approval.
I have a second job. Do I need to tell my new manager at the Agency about this?
Yes, please advise your new manager. All employees are required to seek approval for employment outside of the Agency. This applies to both paid and unpaid jobs.
Will I receive feedback on my application?
All applications are assessed against set criteria and shortlisting outcomes are agreed to by panel members. The Panel Chair will provide feedback upon request.
Are there end-of-trip facilities available?
Yes, end-of-trip facilities are available to staff in all Agency office locations.
