I applied online. I interviewed at NSW Police Force (Parramatta) in Nov 2025
Interview
Process started with virtual online interview thats recorded at home with random questions so it's best to prepare your knowledge and experience prior to this. It helps to know answers to standard questions like tell us about yourself, and why should we hire you. then if selected from the online recorded interview, progression into a panel interview. They look for application of the local legislation in case based scenarios, while also assessing standard behavioural questions.

Question 1
Discuss a time where you had a difficult challenge with another staff member and how you solved that?
Very official. Tasks day before followed by a short in person interview of maximum 20 minutes for presentation and questions to three staff members. For yourself to keep track on the time.
Process included the completion of a Police Check prior to interview. The interview itself was relatively standard and focussed on customer service as well as the management of sensitive records.
