As dogs, cats and other domestic animals are not permitted on national parks, limits are placed on Rangers' pets. There are seven levels of Ranger positions. Higher levels reflect increased responsibilities and specialised knowledge required for positions. Appointment and promotion to a position depends on the suitability of the person to undertake its requirements and is based on merit. A vacancy is filled by the most suitable applicant.
Rangers can apply for vacancies in higher level positions.
How to apply Ranger vacancies are advertised as they occur. All applications are assessed by selection panels. Usually, vacancies are advertised in Saturday's edition of The Courier-Mail newspaper, Brisbane, and in local newspapers in areas where they occur. When a position that interests you and for which you meet the job requirements is advertised, you should apply as directed in the advertisement. The Service receives many employment enquiries and unsolicited job applications.
