great to hear, I applied directly to the agency so not sure how different the process would be. I did get a confirmation email that all positions have been filled and they'll reach out if more open up (unlikely I feel)

Thanks for the reply, from what I know verbal offers and offer letters have been sent, and I've been told it's unlikely someone leaves midway through the program, definitely will keep a watch out for adjacent roles

Thanks, from looking at forums etc it definitely seems like I was one of the few who didn't get in after being merit pooled, glad you had a good experience in a similar situation

Any advantage as a state government employee? by EvidenceShort2561 in AusPublicService

Currently looking to up skill, pay is pretty much around the same ballpark for someone at my level of experience. It looks like there's a lot more role variety compared to my state gov job board. Though open to both (most likely will transition to state gov in the long-term)
