It is my agency’s policy to require Australian citizenship but my agency will conditionally engage a non-citizen until citizenship is obtained. What steps do I need to take when advertising and filling jobs?
My agency’s policy (to engage, or conditionally engage, Australian citizens only) is stated in job advertisements and selection documentation. My agency has decided to engage a person who isn’t a citizen on condition that they seek and obtain Australian citizenship within a specified period. This has been made clear to the person (including in writing), as has the prospect that should citizenship not be obtained, within the notified timeframe, it can result in their employment being terminated. I have recorded the temporary waiver decision and timeframe in the employee’s personnel file. I (or the relevant person in my agency) have checked the person’s visa and confirmed they have the appropriate work entitlements (see 6 below).
