Find the latest government circular. Apply at the source.
The Public Service Vacancy Circular is normally published weekly except during December. DPSA compiles the circular, but the advertising department owns each role and application process.
How to use the DPSA vacancy circular
- Open the newest circular on the official DPSA page.
- Choose the national department or provincial administration you want to inspect.
- Read the complete advert: requirements, duties, salary, location, reference, contact, closing time and submission route.
- Confirm whether applications from outside the public service are accepted.
- Apply exactly as instructed and direct questions to the advertising department.
What you usually need
Public-service adverts commonly require the current Z83 and a detailed CV. Supporting documents may be requested later from shortlisted applicants, but the specific advert controls what must be sent.
