Pre-employment check

The safety of our people and protection of our information are our utmost priorities and critical to maintaining our integrity, value and reputation.

If you are selected as the preferred applicant for a role at AUSTRAC, you will need to complete a number of pre-employment checks which must be completed satisfactorily before we can make you a formal offer of employment. Pre-employment checks typically include proof of identity and qualifications, police history checks, medical declarations and completion of a questionnaire.

AUSTRAC employees also require an Australian Government security clearance. This includes checking your identity and background, finances, digital footprint information and other assessments depending on the level of security clearance required for the role. 

Getting ready for your first day

Before you start at AUSTRAC, we help you prepare by providing you with information, training, tools and resources via a smartphone app.

This includes information about what to expect in your first week, our culture, location information, videos about AUSTRAC’s work and social responsibility, and a welcome video from the CEO.

The onboarding journey continues once you start at AUSTRAC via our e-learning hub where you will complete induction training and access resources, surveys and information.
