Opportunity to become a Queensland Police Officer

The Queensland Police Service offers Traineeships in the Justice Entry Program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These Traineeships are part of the Queensland Police Service’s Diversity Management Plan. The Traineeship provides the education qualifications for entry into the Queensland Police Service as a police recruit, including a First Aid Certificate.

Trainees who successfully undertake this program will also be eligible to receive an Australian National Training Authority endorsed qualification.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people and ideally have completed year 12 school education with at least one or two years employment experience. Alternatively, applicants who have year 10 education with extensive employment and life related skills which demonstrate potential to succeed as a police officer, may also apply. Applicants must also meet police recruit entry requirements including integrity, health and fitness.

You must hold a current driver licence to operate a motor vehicle (manual or automatic) in Australia;
or
a Provisional driver licence, with at least one year driving experience and successful completion of a defensive driving course (TLIC107C) recognised by the Queensland Police Service.

If you are appointed as a police recruit and your licence is from another state or territory, you will need to obtain a Queensland open driver licence or a provisional driver licence which meet the above requirements before commencing as a recruit. Proof of the currency of your driver licence is required with your application.

Duration

The traineeship is a six month full time course, held at the Queensland Police Service Academies in Brisbane and Townsville.

Salary

During the traineeship, trainees will receive a salary equal to that of a police recruit. This equates to a fortnightly salary of approximately $974.00 after tax. For existing employees of the Queensland Police Service, ordinary salary or wages will be maintained for the duration of the traineeship.
