Medical Deployment

Medical deployment and redeployment is a process that provides support for tenured public service employees who are permanently unable to perform their usual duties due to a medical condition.

Employees who meet the eligibility criteria will be registered for medical deployment within the Department of Education and Training. Registered medical employees are considered for vacancies prior to open merit selection.

Eligibility

To be eligible for medical deployment and redeployment an employee must have written support from a medical specialist confirming their permanent inability to perform their current role. In addition, there should be a high expectation that the person can be successfully deployed to a permanent role within the Department of Education and Training within 6 months, with a maximum period of 12 months available, dependent upon each case. Further information on eligibility criteria can be found in the medical deployment framework 56k.

If an employee is unable to secure a permanent position within the 12-month period, then ill-health retirement is likely.
