Clear terms for using this site.

Please take a moment to understand what this service does, what to verify before applying, and what we ask of visitors.

EFFECTIVE DATE

By visiting or using DPSA Government Jobs, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

01

Our service

DPSA Government Jobs is an independent, non-official vacancy listing service. We organise information from published DPSA circulars and other public sources into searchable listings to make vacancy information easier to browse.

We are not a government body or recruitment agency.We are not the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA), any government department, or an employment agency. We do not accept or process applications, screen candidates, arrange interviews, or promise employment. Applications must be made using the official instructions in the vacancy notice.
02

Vacancy information

We work to present vacancy information clearly, but listings may contain omissions or errors, including errors present in source documents or introduced during extraction and formatting. A listing on this site is provided for convenience and is not a substitute for the official circular or department notice.

Before applying, verify the details against the official source. In particular, check the closing date, reference number, application address or method, eligibility requirements, and supporting documents. If details differ, follow the official notice or contact the recruiting department using its published contact information.

We do not guarantee that a vacancy remains open, that a department will receive an application, or that an application will be considered or successful.

03

Vacancy listings may link to official government websites or other external sources. We do not operate or control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, terms, or application processes. When you follow an external link, the other site’s terms and policies apply.

05

Availability and access

We aim to keep the service available, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Features or access may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn, including where reasonably needed for maintenance, security, or misuse prevention.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on inaccurate or outdated listing information, missed application deadlines, third-party websites, or temporary unavailability of the service. Nothing in these terms limits a right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
