The Western Australia Police Force recently held 14 information sessions across four major cities in the United Kingdom and Ireland, as part of their Labour Agreement with the Government of Western Australia to recruit police officers internationally.
The events were held in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin from 26 February to 7 March 2023 and attracted over 1,100 registered attendees looking for new opportunities in law enforcement.
During these sessions, our International Recruitment team provided valuable insights into the application process, training requirements, and the overall recruitment journey, including tips on how to prepare for the move to our great State.
Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions about the agency, the work culture, lifestyle, and what it's like to live and work in Western Australia. They also learnt more about the exciting and unique experiences that come with working in the largest policing jurisdiction in the world.
In addition, candidates were given a comprehensive overview of the attractive perks offered by the WA Police Force, which includes:
- Competitive salary, overtime and shift allowances
- 13 weeks paid training
- Six weeks paid annual leave and other leave options
- Subsidies for some regional locations
- Career progression and personal development opportunities
- Opportunities for regional deployment and specialist roles
- Recognition of prior service*
The events were a great success, with feedback from attendees stating the sessions were informative, engaging and insightful. Our International Recruitment team looks forward to welcoming more applicants from the UK and Ireland to join their ranks to help serve and protect the community of Western Australia.
*Service will be recognised up to a maximum of a fifth-year constable.
