Ballarat public sector work is regional service delivery, not a Melbourne central agency

Ballarat's readers are Grampians Health, Federation University, manufacturing and food employers, and Victorian Public Service teams that deliver services from the city, including staff based at the Ballarat GovHub. The grades are the same VPS scale used in Melbourne. The work inside the example is a regional caseload, a campus or a plant, not a Spring Street brief.

Serving Ballarat and clients across Australia. Key selection criteria on careers.vic.gov.au are still the selection document for VPS roles. A one-page APS pitch is only for a federal vacancy.

VPS grades when the office is in Ballarat

careers.vic.gov.au advertises Victorian Public Service roles from VPS1 to VPS7, with executive roles above the scale. The VPS Capability Framework informs the key selection criteria. Personal attributes sit under the framework, and the domains include Meaningful outcomes, Enabling delivery, Authentic relationships and People leadership. Proficiency runs Foundational, Applied, Accomplished and Leading. The position description names the capabilities that matter for that job.

A Ballarat VPS3 or VPS4 role is often casework, processing, education support, justice services or local program delivery. The example should show the client, the rule you applied and the result. A VPS5 or VPS6 role in a regional team is read for a body of work, stakeholders across the region, and advice to a manager. Writing it as a central-agency strategy piece, or writing a VPS6 example down into a task list, misses the grade. The GovHub hosts teams from more than one department. The advertisement names the department. Use that name.

The public sector values, Responsiveness, Integrity, Impartiality, Accountability, Leadership, Respect and Human rights, sometimes appear as their own criterion. Answer that criterion with a workplace example. Do not paste the list of values and stop. Federal roles that happen to be located in Ballarat use APSJobs, not this scale.

Grampians Health and the Base Hospital

Grampians Health includes the former Ballarat Health Services. Ballarat Base Hospital is the major public hospital. Clinical résumés need the campus, the unit and registration. Emergency, medicine, surgery, maternity, mental health, aged care and community health across the Grampians catchment are different jobs. Say whether the work was at the Base or in a smaller campus in the health service.

Nurses, midwives, doctors and allied health are employed by the health service. They are not VPS grades unless the vacancy is a departmental role on careers.vic.gov.au. A clinical application follows the health award and the health service's own questions. A VPS key-selection-criteria letter about 'stakeholder engagement' will not read as a ward résumé.

Corporate roles inside Grampians Health can look like public sector applications and still not be VPS. Check the employer on the advertisement. If it is the health service, follow that pack and name the service. If it is the Department of Health, follow the VPS grade and the criteria. Interstate hospital experience needs the acuity translated. It does not need the city name swapped onto an old file.

Federation University, the GovHub, and private employers

Federation University's Ballarat campuses, including Mount Helen and SMB, recruit professional and academic staff. Professional applications show the students, the service or the system, and the result. Academic applications show teaching and research in the faculty's format. TAFE provision and higher education inside the university are not the same evidence. Neither form is a VPS criteria response.

Private employers include Haymes Paint, a Ballarat manufacturer, food and manufacturing plants, and Sovereign Hill as a visitor-economy employer. A manufacturing résumé needs the product, the plant, the crew and the standard. A tourism or visitor-experience résumé needs the venue, the volume and the team. WorkSafe Victoria has a Ballarat regional presence as well as its Geelong head office. A WorkSafe advertisement follows WorkSafe's pack, which is not automatically a VPS department application.

Councils, including the City of Ballarat, use local government processes. Those forms are separate from careers.vic.gov.au. Someone moving from a plant supervisor role into a VPS5 regulatory role needs the public sector example built from real decisions, not a duty list with capability words added.

Key selection criteria versus a one-page pitch

Victorian selection is usually a response to the key selection criteria, either as its own document or inside a cover letter, or answers to questions in the application system. Each criterion needs an example at the grade. A letter that restates the position description in the first person does not give the panel anything to score.

The one-page pitch is the federal shape. Use it when an APSJobs vacancy asks for a pitch against the Integrated Leadership System. Ballarat VPS panels are not asking for that pitch. Geelong's NDIA headquarters is the large federal employer in the wider region, and that is an APS process. A Ballarat VPS pack will not serve an NDIA application, and an NDIA pitch will not serve a Ballarat GovHub vacancy.

Keep the health résumé and the manufacturing résumé off the criteria document. Order the human-written pack against the advertisement you are actually answering. If two Ballarat employers want two formats, they are two documents.
