The process to assess an applicant’s suitability to become a QPS police officer is based on their ability to meet the genuine occupational requirements and demands of a general duties police officer.

If you have successfully completed the initial eligibility assessment and meet the QPS Entrance Assessment (QPSea) requirements, you will be invited to lodge your application. The Queensland Police Service (QPS) will invite you to undertake further assessments. You must successfully complete all assessment requirements. Some of the assessments are conducted at the same time as other assessments. You are competing against other applicants, so the better you perform in each area, the stronger your chances will be for selection. Subject to the operational recruitment requirements of the QPS, the recruiting process may be changed without notice.

The assessments include:

• Panel interview
• Pre-Employment Medical Screening (see the Health Standards extract)
• Integrity vetting
• Psychological Assessment
• Physical Assessment

The Recruitment Process page provides additional information on each of these.
