We use a rolling recruitment process which means your application is processed as soon as you apply. There are several steps in the recruitment process, which can sometimes take between 3–6 months to complete.

While you can apply at any time, we encourage people to apply as far in advance of the start date as possible, to give yourself the best chance of completing the application process in time.

Generally, if you are successful in the recruitment process you will receive an offer about 8 weeks out from the commencement date of the course.

Other course commencement dates for our Accelerated Training Program (for experienced police or former police from other jurisdictions) are available here.
