The Queensland Police Service (QPS) offers traineeships in the Justice Entry Program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These traineeships are part of the Service’s commitment to equal opportunity and diversity in employment, and provide the education qualifications for entry into the QPS as a police recruit, including a First Aid Certificate.

Trainees who successfully undertake this program will also be eligible to receive an Australian National Training Authority endorsed qualification.
Entry Requirements

Applicants must be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent and ideally have completed a Year 12 school education with at least one or two years employment experience.

Alternatively, applicants who have a Year 10 education with extensive employment and life related skills, who demonstrate potential to succeed as a police officer, may also apply. Applicants must also meet police recruit entry requirements including integrity, health and fitness.
Driver Licence

Applicants must hold a current Australian Open Driver Licence to operate a motor vehicle (manual or automatic)

Proof of the currency of your driver licence is required with your application.

To drive police patrol vehicles, police officers must meet particular medical and health standards as outlined in the guidellines of the National Road Transport Commission.

The Defence Indigenous Development Program (DIDP) has been developed in order to address the needs of northern Australia’s remote indigenous people. The program provides young indigenous adults with the education, training, life skills and confidence – and as a result the opportunities – to secure and sustain continuous employment of their choice and to be role models within their communities.

DIDP is provided through a partnership between the Department of Defence, Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and the Northern Territory Department of Education and Training (DET).

The DIDP is a residential program which is conducted over seven months out of Charles Darwin University’s Katherine Rural Campus (KRC), 20 kilometres north of Katherine, where trainees spend approximately four weeks training at a time, followed by a one week break at home in their communities. Some periods of dedicated military training with NORFORCE are conducted from Larrakeyah Barracks in Darwin.

For further information please contact the DIDP on 1800 447 827 or email info@didp.com.auDIDP official flyer
