Several assessment rounds, including psychometric and behavioural assessments, followed by a panel interview and final video response.

psychometric individual task interview

The interview process was pretty tiring. It was multiple rounds that required the usual resume and cover letter, but also answering a series of scenario multiple choices; a personality test; a psychometric test; a locked browser trial assessment; a group assessment (held online) and an individual interview; and a short recorded video interview. This happened over the course of 3-4 months, often with long periods of little communication about whether you had progressed and conflicting information offered at times. The process could be improved by providing a clearer timeline, cut off for job offers, etc.
Graduate, Sydney
The interview process and assessments were very long and tedious. It took a long time to hear back between each stage, and not much notice was given between being informed of the next task and having to complete it.
Graduate, Sydney
Firstly, I applied online by submitting a resume and cover letter. Next, I completed two online personality assessments. I then completed a structured one-on-one interview and group interview. These interviews took about half a day to complete.

Graduate, Sydney
There were a series of steps that you had to complete to reach the talent pool such as psychometric testing, video interviews and online, live interviews.
Graduate, Sydney
Pretty new-age; no resume or interview in the traditional sense. There was an online questionnaire/form in place of a resume. Then there is an online simulated work day which was fun, then a day of virtual assessment, one group activity in small groups addressing a hypothetical problem and an interview.
Graduate, Sydney
Quite a few steps, but the skills and values they wanted me to demonstrate were always made clear, which helped a lot.
Graduate, Sydney
Lengthy and tedious. Many quizzes and exams.
Graduate, Parramatta
I felt supported with my accommodations compared to other hiring processes that I needed to keep justify what and I needed for supports as well as why. I felt that I was able to be myself and that was seen rather short segmented video interviews.
Graduate, Sydney
The process was not too bad, I cannot remember what it consisted of entirely but I remember a group interview and a video interview.
Graduate, Parramatta
The interview process included capability tests, group activities, personality tests, a face-to-face interview, and a video interview. Overall it was not a good experience, and some of the questions asked in the personality tests were uncomfortable and seemed unnecessary when determining one's ability to complete the role.

The recruitment process has four components - Initial questions (getting details), including 2 questions that examined fit to company (and had a tight word limit) - Cognitive assessment - Individual practical assessment (examining how well you individually create some deliverables) - Interview and group practical assessment (examining how well you can work in a group to create some deliverables)
Graduate, Sydney
There was a long interview process with many stages.

The hiring process for the Graduate Program was very long. It was done by the PSC, not DRNSW. Application, online testing, interviews.
Graduate, Orange
4-5 rounds including resume application, aptitude and personality tests, group interviews, 1 on 1 interviews and then finally individual interviews with hiring managers.
Graduate, Sydney
The graduate program selection process was very strenuous. There were many rounds of testing to get into the candidate pool, and getting into the candidate pool did not even guarantee a position in the program.
Graduate, Sydney
Many steps to get into the Graduate program. Answered targeted and situational questions and a cognitive ability assessment. Then did pre-assessment center activities which was a written task and a personality test. Then a virtual assessment centre which was an interview and group activity. Don't stress over them too much, just try and do your best, and if you don't get through try again next year

I did not come into the NSW public service the 'normal' way, rather joining via the government graduate program. The program runs its own recruitment process, separate to the usual government processes.
