From 1 October 2019, direct appointments are no longer permitted (except in the limited circumstances outlined below). All roles must be advertised on the Jobs and Skills Exchange (JSE).
The direct appointment of any Victorian Public Service (VPS) employee (regardless of which department/agency they are from) to a role is permitted when standing up teams in times of urgency as a temporary measure while recruitment for a role through the JSE is underway. (See clause 15)
