How to Apply for DPSA Vacancies
Applicants should carefully read the vacancy advertisement for the specific position they want to apply for. The application process can differ depending on the department and the advertised post.
The DPSA’s vacancy circular guidance requires applicants to provide their relevant training, qualifications, competencies, knowledge and experience and to use the appropriate Z83 Application for Employment Form where required. Applicants should also include the correct reference number for the vacancy.
Before applying, make sure that you:
- Read the complete job advertisement.
- Check the minimum qualifications and experience.
- Confirm that you meet the requirements.
- Prepare an updated CV.
- Complete the required Z83 application form where applicable.
- Quote the correct reference number.
- Attach the supporting documents requested in the advertisement.
- Follow the department’s stated application method.
- Submit your application before the applicable closing date.
Applicants should also direct questions about a specific vacancy to the department advertising the post, rather than to the DPSA.
Important Information for Job Seekers
Every vacancy advertised in Circular 32 of 2026 may have different requirements. A position’s salary, qualifications, experience, location and closing date should therefore be checked directly in the relevant departmental document.
Do not assume that meeting the requirements for one position means you automatically qualify for another. Read each advertisement carefully and submit your application according to the instructions provided. Applicants should also ensure that their applications reach the relevant department by the stated closing date. Late applications may not be considered.

DPSA Circular 32 of 2026 gives job seekers access to the latest government employment opportunities advertised through participating national departments and provincial administrations.
With the circular posted on 4 September 2026, applicants should review the available departments and provinces, identify positions that match their qualifications and carefully follow the application instructions contained in each advertisement.
