What Is A Z83 Form?
The Z83 application form includes information which determines whether the applicant meets the minimum requirements and qualifications of the job position. It is the standard government employment form and is reviewed by the selected public service shortlisting committee when reviewing applications for an advertised post.
Only applicants with an original ID or passport may apply using the Z83 form. Applicants filling in the employment form are reminded to ensure that the paperwork is neat and contains the relevant information and supporting documentation. There is a very similar process for all areas of the public service.
