Employment with the Department of the Senate is subject to conditions prescribed in the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 and subordinate determinations and directions.
The Department of the Senate will consider applications from non-Australian citizens on a case by case basis in accordance with the merit principle as required by subsection 10(1)(f) of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999.
Applicants who remain subject to a ‘redundancy benefit period’ from a Commonwealth employer will not normally be engaged.
Engagement may also be subject to
probation, security, character and health clearances.
Reviewable Decisions (Promotion)
Certain promotion decisions which result in the promotion of an employee to the classifications of Australian Parliamentary Service Level 1/2 (APS Level 2 - Upper Band) to Australian Parliamentary Service Level 6 (inclusive) may be subject to review.
To be eligible to seek a review of a promotion decision, you must be an ongoing Parliamentary Service or Australian Public Service employee who was an applicant for promotion to the relevant employment opportunity.
A promotion decision can only be reviewed on the grounds of merit.
Applications for review of a promotion decision must be lodged with the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC), and must be received by the Parliamentary Service Merit Protection Commissioner by 5:00pm on the 14th day after notification of the promotion in the Gazette (APSJobs.gov.au).
