The FaHCSIA e-recruitment system will be unavailable during the scheduled maintenance period.
Before You Apply
FaHCSIA uses an online application system. Some useful tips prior to applying online are:
- If you are a current FaHCSIA employee, you should use your internal profile to apply (through ESSentials), if you would like to register an external profile you will need to use a private e-mail address.
- Make sure pop-up blockers are turned off. Our job overviews are generated as PDF documents in a new window. If you do not turn pop-up blockers off, selection documentation will not launch.
- To avoid time-out issues, work from a saved word document, then copy (control C) and paste (control V) into your questionnaires in the online system.
- Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide which includes a step-by-step guide through the online application process.
- Ensure you complete all mandatory fields.
- If you have finalised your application but there is no button to submit please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
