Applying for Jobs

Finding a job

The Department of Justice (DOJ) advertises all vacant positions on the Careers with the Victorian Government website. Information about positions, selection criteria, special requirements and the closing date for any applications can be found on the website.

The Department may also advertise positions in some weekend papers, however the most effective way to search and apply for a job at the Department is through the Victorian Public Service job website.

Online job applications can be lodged through the Victorian Public Service job website.

Your application must address the key selection criteria. For further information about any advertised position, contact the person on the advertisement.
