Using the main search bar on the Home page, enter any word or words related to your desired job. Different agencies may describe similar jobs in different ways so try a range of search words.

The search lists jobs where any of your search words are in the:

• job title
• name of an agency advertising a job
• region a job is advertised in
• advertisement or job description.

You can change how the jobs are listed by clicking the ‘Sort by’ option on the top right of the search results page. 

Narrow your search results by clicking on filter options on the left hand side of the search results page. The number in the red box next to each option is the number of jobs that match the option.

When selecting and unselecting filter options, your search results automatically update when using a desktop computer. On mobiles and most tablets, you need to manually apply the filters by clicking the ‘Apply filters’ button.

Salary filter – uses the minimum salary for each job rounded down to the nearest $10,000. To see jobs across a salary range, select each salary option in that range. For example, to search for jobs from $70,000 to $100,000, select ‘From $70,000’, ‘From $80,000’, ‘From $90,000’ and ‘From $100,000’.

Level filter – If a job is available at more than one level, it is linked to the ‘Multiple levels’ option. To see all jobs available at each level, select that level and ‘Multiple levels’. For example, to search for all jobs at Level 6, select ‘Level 6’ and ‘Multiple levels’. 

To apply for a job, click "Apply Now" in the job advertisement.

You then leave the WA Government Jobs website and are directed to the application system used by the agency that has advertised the job.

If you need help with an application, contact the agency using the details in the job advertisement.
