Submitting applications by e-mail

The TSRA offers and encourages electronic submission of applications  as an alternative to paper-based submission. The email address to use when submitting your application, or to ask a question about a vacancy is recruitment@tsra.gov.au

The following document formats are currently acceptable:

1. Microsoft Word
2. Adobe Acrobat

Any submitted application  sent by email to the TSRA should clearly address the selection criteria and have your appropriate contact details, including contact telephone number and postal address, included in the email.
