Don't worry, you will be given the opportunity to have a practice run before recording the video.
If you progress, after the video interview you'll need to complete a series of online aptitude and psychometric assessments.
If you're successful to the interview stage you'll participate in a face to face interview with a panel of representatives from across WorkSafe.
Remember, this is also a chance to ask us questions to ensure the work, the team and our culture are right for you.
We'll ask you to complete a background check, medical and provide the details of two referees for us to contact.
Medicals may require some travel depending on available appointments.
