Follow our step-by-step guide to help you apply for a job with us.
1. Search for a job
Take a moment to check your eligibility to work with us.
Search our current vacancies for a role that matches your interests and experience. If there aren’t any current vacancies, set a job alert on the Careers Vic website to get notified when new roles are advertised. State Revenue Office is a selection under the Department of Treasury and Finance.

In the Victorian Public Service, jobs are classified from Grade 1 (entry level) to Grade 7 (senior technical specialist). Each grade has a different salary range based on the value of the work, as outlined in the current Victorian Public Service (VPS) Agreement 2024.
2. Prepare your application
When you apply, make sure to follow the instructions in the job advertisement, as each role may have different application requirements. Most roles require you to complete an online application form and attach:
- your resume

Including referees in your application is optional. If you reach the interview stage and are a strong candidate, we’ll ask for 2 work referees. We will not contact them without your permission.
3. Submit your application
First-time applicants must register before submitting an application.
You can save your application and return to it later. Please remember to submit your finished application by the closing date and time stated in the job advertisement.
