These Terms & Conditions apply to your access to and use of the AustBridge Recruitment website, online platform and services made available through the website.

By accessing the website, creating an account, submitting information, applying for a vacancy, registering as an employer or otherwise using the relevant services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

If you do not agree with these Terms & Conditions, you should not use the relevant AustBridge services.

2. AustBridge Recruitment Services

AustBridge Recruitment operates an online recruitment platform through which candidates may access employment opportunities and employers may engage with recruitment-related services.

Services available through the platform may include candidate registration, candidate profiles, job listings, job applications, document submission, employer registration, vacancy management and recruitment communication.

The availability of particular services or features may depend on the user's account type, the relevant recruitment process and the services offered by AustBridge at the relevant time.

3. Eligibility and Authority

You must provide information that is accurate and sufficient for the services you are using.

Where you register or act on behalf of an organisation or employer, you must have the authority required to provide information and undertake activities on behalf of that organisation.

AustBridge may request additional information where it is reasonably necessary to verify an account, recruitment activity or submitted information.

4. Candidate Accounts

Candidates may create an account to access recruitment-related services and manage information associated with their recruitment profile.

Candidates are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for activities carried out through their account.

• Registration information must be accurate.
• Account credentials must be kept confidential.
• Candidates must not knowingly allow unauthorised persons to access their account.
• Candidates should notify AustBridge if they believe their account has been accessed without authorisation.
• Candidate information should be kept current where changes may affect an application or recruitment process.

5. Candidate Information

Candidates may provide personal, professional and employment-related information through the platform.

This may include information contained in a CV, employment history, qualifications, skills, contact information, supporting documents and information submitted during an application.

Candidates are responsible for ensuring that information supplied to AustBridge is truthful, accurate and not knowingly misleading.

Candidates must not submit forged, altered, fraudulent or unlawfully obtained documents.

6. Job Vacancies and Applications

The platform may display employment opportunities provided by employers or other authorised parties.

A candidate may submit an application through the available application process where the relevant vacancy permits applications through the platform.

Submission of an application does not itself constitute an offer of employment.

An application does not guarantee an interview, selection, employment, sponsorship, visa approval, relocation or any other particular outcome.

7. Recruitment and Selection

Recruitment decisions may depend on the requirements of the relevant position, employer, candidate qualifications, experience, availability and other applicable selection criteria.

Where an employer is responsible for the final selection decision, the employer determines whether a candidate progresses to interview, offer or employment.

AustBridge does not represent that every registered candidate will be matched with a vacancy or that every application will result in employment.

8. Employer Accounts and Responsibilities

Employers using the platform are responsible for ensuring that information submitted to AustBridge is accurate and that vacancies published through the platform accurately represent the relevant employment opportunity.

Employers must ensure that their recruitment activities comply with applicable laws and employment requirements.

• Employer information should be current and accurate.
• Vacancies must not knowingly contain fraudulent or misleading information.
• Employer accounts must not be used for unlawful activities.
• Candidate information must be handled responsibly and only for legitimate purposes.

9. Employer Job Listings

AustBridge may review, approve, reject, modify, restrict or remove job listings where this is considered necessary for platform operation, compliance, security or the protection of users.

Publication of a vacancy on the platform does not constitute a guarantee by AustBridge that the position will remain available for any particular period.

10. International Employment and Immigration

Certain recruitment opportunities may involve employment outside the candidate's current country of residence.

Where a position involves visas, work permits, immigration approval, sponsorship or other government requirements, those matters remain subject to the requirements and decisions of the relevant employer and competent authorities.

Submission of an application through AustBridge does not guarantee visa approval, work permit approval, immigration approval or entry into another country.

Candidates are responsible for providing accurate information required for any relevant process and for complying with applicable requirements.

11. Documents and Supporting Information

Depending on the service being used, users may be required or permitted to submit CVs, qualifications, certificates, identification documents and other supporting materials.

Users confirm that they have the necessary right or authority to provide documents submitted through their account.

AustBridge may restrict or reject documents that are corrupted, unsafe, misleading, unlawful or otherwise unsuitable for the relevant service.

12. Accuracy of Information

The quality and accuracy of recruitment services depend in part on the accuracy of information supplied by candidates and employers.
