How the system works

Read the employment framework before the vacancy.

South Australian public-sector roles often use ASO classifications for administrative work, but health and specialist employers may differ. Candidate information packs and role descriptions set the assessment method and required documents.

Application method

Build the submission the panel asked for.

Use the role description and applicant guidelines to decide whether to submit a cover letter, criteria response or suitability statement.
Match examples to the capabilities and outcomes at the advertised classification.
Confirm whether the role is ongoing, temporary, part-time or part of a pool.
For health roles, address required immunisation, criminal-history and vulnerable-person screening where stated.

Executive-office reality

What the title may hide

Adelaide central agencies, SA Health and local health networks are core markets. Lean executive offices can combine diary and correspondence with committees, projects, board liaison or office operations.

Search vocabulary

Use more than “Executive Assistant”.

Executive AssistantPersonal AssistantExecutive Support OfficerAdministrative Services OfficerOffice ManagerBoard and Committee Officer

Review “Executive Officer” results by duties: the title may describe policy, program or secretariat work rather than direct executive support.
