connect Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Dear members, I am moving to Australia on PR 189 visa with a background in administration. Some Victorian government departments have mentioned that PR can apply to government jobs, I am wondering if it is indeed possible for a PR to get a government job, such as in Police or Transport Victoria. Please share your views. Thank you Edited June 5, 2017 by connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) You need citizenship for federal jobs but state level jobs generally only require PR. Whether you get one or not rather depends on your skill set, your experience and the way you sell yourself in competition with the hundreds of others who also want a government job.

connect Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Just now, Quoll said: You need citizenship for federal jobs but state level jobs generally only require PR. Is police a state level job? Sorry but I am naive in this. Victoria police have mentioned that PR can apply, so I expect I will be eligible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 yes, Victoria police are a state level. Each state has its own police. Then there is a seperste federal police and then in WA a third force called the Gold Police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
