This FOI release contains Department of Health and Aged Care recruitment data for 2024, showing APS Jobs vacancies, application volumes, and hiring outcomes by employment type. The disclosure lists 30+ archived position requisitions across multiple classification levels (APS5-6, EL1-2, Legal, Medical Officer Class 4) with corresponding application numbers and whether positions were filled by DoHAC staff, other APS employees, or non-APS applicants. Notable patterns include several positions receiving no applicants or remaining unfilled (e.g., Medical Officer Class 4 with 30 applications but zero fills, multiple EL1 roles with zero outcomes), while others achieved multiple hires from various employment pools. The data reflects recruitment activity across divisions including HR, Legal, Finance, and Health Service Strategy. However, this is administrative personnel data unrelated to health policy, clinical guidance, or regulatory decisions on medicines, vaccines, or therapeutic devices
