Term pool register

Term pool registrations open 31 August 2024

What is the term pool register?

NPWS maintains a term pool register of applicants who are interested in working as seasonal fire crew. Seasonal fire crew leave these positions throughout the year for a variety of reasons, including gaining other positions in the Department for Environment and Water. This register is used to help with recruitment if a position does become available. The contract length is adjusted on a case-by-case basis depending on when the vacancy occurs.

Please note that registering your interest does not guarantee employment. When and if a position becomes available during the prescribed burn or bushfire season, all applications on the register are reviewed. If you are successfully shortlisted, you may be contacted for an interview to participate in the recruitment process outlined below. Each step must be completed and successfully passed before progressing to the next stage.
