with the 12 month non-ongoing - basically they've got funding for positions for the next 12 months, and not beyond that, based on what needs are seen to be within the network when they were budgeting - at the end of the 12 months, there may be additional funding to offer you a longer term contract or even permanent work. you will have a minimum of 12 months work though
the families processing team will be the group that process baby bonus and family tax benefit new claims, ftb lump sum claims etc. you'll have minimal customer contact unless something is missing from their claim etc...
Congratulations!!
BG has summed it up good enough
I started off on a non-ongoing role which was for 5 months, and was offered a permanent job 3 months in. I was required to re-apply, but didn't have to do the whole interview process again.
When do you start?
Thanks BG and Jodi. I am not sure of the exact start date. I have yet to receive a call from them advising me of the date. I still need to do a medical though...but I really don't think I will have any problems there, lol
Jodi, thats what worries me a little.... having to go through the whole ordeal again to get a permament role. But I've spoken to another friend of mine (who works for the ATO) and she said her husband started off as a non-ongoing and then they made him perm after a short time.
I am just thrilled that I got a position. I am trying to get a whole stack of things done and spend some time with the kids before I go back to work.
