Are you considering a transition from APS or ADF to a contracting role?
If you are considering contracting, and you are currently an APS or ADF member, you must make yourself aware of the current policies relating to your separation. You must ensure you have read, understood and comply with the applicable policies and processes which can be obtained from your internal HR teams. You must ensure you have completed all appropriate separation paperwork, and obtained the applicable approvals, to contract into Defence or more broadly the Commonwealth prior to applying for a role.
Considering a move from an APS or ADF member to contracting can be a big decision. Further information on contracting is provided by downloading from the button's at the end of this document.

Keane has obligations under the various panels we are engaged on. This includes advising prospective contractors that, as an APS or ADF member considering contracting, you need to ensure you comply with post APS/ADF separation policies. You must refer and adhere to the relevant internal policies including the Defence Workplace Relations Manual. A "conflict-of-interest" form is one document that needs to be completed and submitted and you must also advise your security officer. Doing so ensures that the Commonwealth has reduced its risk of conflict of interest especially around probity of contracts. It is not common that a transition is “blocked” (only if a substantial real, perceived or potential conflict is identified) although it does require a very high level of approval (as of July 2024).
