No. The creation and submitting on a volunteer profile via the AUSMAT Volunteer Portal is equivalent to lodging a job application.  Your skill set, professional experience and employment history need to be assessed firstly against the minimum eligibility criteria and current AUSMAT requirements. As AUSMAT is a nationally run program each State and Territory has its own jurisdictional AUSMAT representative and training selection committee for upcoming training courses factoring in priority skill sets for the national AUSMAT cohort and jurisdiction requirements.  Applicants who meet their State or Territory’s minimum eligibility will have their details reviewed by the AUSMAT volunteer committee. The following information will be reviewed: Referee checks Experience +/- Interview In addition to the above, consideration will also be given to any high priority skill sets at the time of training. Successful applicants will be notified and placed on a waiting list for AUSMAT Team Member training. Unsuccessful applicants will also be notified of the outcome of the review panel and the areas of their application to be addressed and are encouraged to re-apply in the future. As courses become available states and territories will nominate their selected course applicants, which have been already assessed as suitable for training, to NCCTRC for course place selection and prioritisation NCCTRC takes into account number of course places, priority skills sets, database openings, balance of state and territory representation on courses and ensuring a variety of skillsets and jurisdictions are represented on each course. As NCCTRC assess nominated applicants for upcoming course there is a requirement to complete a personality profile test as part of training selection process which is administered by Response Psychological. Selection is confirmed with state and territory jurisdictions, you will receive notification from your state / territory AUSMAT representative in the first instance if you are selected for a place on an upcoming AUSMAT Team Member training course. If you are not selected for an upcoming training course you may be nominated for future training courses, please liaise with your state/ territory AUSMAT representative for future opportunities and training dates for the next year or as they may arise. Applicants are encouraged to complete applications with as much detail as possible to help inform suitability and selection for training. The application process can take some time as the training to become an AUSMAT team member is highly sort after and competitive, in some cases you may not receive correspondence about your application for up to 6 months and it will depend on the availability of upcoming training. Your application status will change to under review as the application is reviewed.  Please be patient but if you wish to enquire you can contact your state or territory jurisdiction.
