Parks Victoria now requires that some prospective employees undergo a National Police Record Check prior to an employment offer being made. This includes all seasonal Project Firefighters and newly appointed Field Services Officers (Fire Operations).

As part of the job application you will be asked to acknowledge this as a mandatory pre-employment requirement and consent to the results of the check being returned directly to Parks Victoria. You are, however, not required to complete the consent form until instructed to do so by a Parks Victoria staff member. If you are a current Parks Victoria employee you are not required to undergo a check.

Having a criminal record does not automatically preclude you from being employed. Parks Victoria Human Resources will undertake a comprehensive assessment before making any decision on suitability for employment.
