Key Selection Criteria
The key selection criterion (KSC) is designed to match the skills of an applicant to what is required for a position. It is used by employers to ensure that we assess each applicant in a way that is both fair and consistent.

It is important that before you consider applying for a position, you read the Key Selection Criteria provided in the position description. In all Barwon Health advertisements you'll find the Position Description at the very bottom of the live advertisement. Under the closing date there will be a file that you can open with position description labelled next to it. Once opening the file you can find the Key Selection criteria on the very last page. On this page you will see ‘essential’ and ‘desirable’ with a list of dot points associated with each heading. Please only apply for a position if you fit what is ‘essential’ otherwise your application will be culled when processing. Desirable criteria is advantageous, however not critical to the role. If you have any queries about whether you fit the Key Selection Criteria ensure that you contact the hiring manager, you are able to find there contact details on the live advertisement above the closing date.
 
Answering the key selection criteria
When applying for a position you will go through a step by step process online, you will be unable to move to the next page until completing what is required on the page that you are currently on. Only after you upload your resume and cover letter will you move to the next page where you are required to either tick or answer the Key Selection Criteria that is provided. Unlike other companies, Barwon Health’s format provides a set of questions or statements that require you to answer in a format that is either ‘free text’ providing you a space that you can write in, answering ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and being provided with free text, or clicking ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and not being provided with any text to answer. In many situations the hiring manager may only have a ‘yes’ ‘no’ format that does not require you to answer anything. 

How to answer If free text is provided?
Brainstorm what the question or statement is asking or advising you to write about and then answer in a way that is clear, concise and honest. In instances where the Key Selection Criteria is asking you a behavioural question, answer in a STAR format (situation, task, action, response). Start with the background of the situation, follow with what was required of you, then answer with what you did or how you did it, and complete this with the outcome of your actions. There is a limited amount of character space so please ensure your answer is not cut off. 

Documents to be uploaded
Every Barwon Health role that is advertised over eRecruit requires a resume and a cover letter. Please ensure that you save these files as a word document or a PDF prior to uploading into the system. Some roles require other documents/qualifications to be uploaded, however, if needed it will be stated on the page where you will need to upload the files.

Confirmation email

If you have not received a confirmation email and are uncertain if it has been submitted, please contact the Talent Acquisition team on: (03) 4215 0520.
