a) Notification of Appointment
Once the selected candidate has been appointed, both the appointee and all unsuccessful candidates will be notified as soon as possible.
b) Post-Selection Feedback
Post selection feedback is available to all applicants upon request. This can be arranged through the chair of the selection committee.
c) Promotion Appeals
The promotion appeal system exists to promote good selection practices. If you are a permanent Queensland Public Sector Employee, you may appeal against an appointment if you consider yourself more meritorious than the appointee, or if you consider the selection procedures unfair or inappropriate.
As a general rule, you may appeal if:
- The advertised position is not Senior Executive Service position or marked with a (b) in the Queensland Government Gazette.
- The successful applicant is promoted into the position and is not an applicant who is external to the Queensland Public Service.
- You applied for the vacancy by 5pm on the closing date shown on the advertisement.
- You are a permanent public service employee of a department or public sector agency.
An appeal against a promotional appointment must be lodged with the Public Service Commissioner by 5pm, 21 calendar days after notification of the appointment in the Queensland Government Gazette.
However, you should seek post selection feedback before submitting an appeal application.
