I inherited eight selection criteria and a two-day deadline. GovPrep matched them to my resume and had a first draft of every STAR response ready in under ten minutes. I just cleaned it up and rehearsed.

The difference

Public sector applications punish the unprepared.

Without GovPrep
  • Spend the whole weekend rewriting STAR responses from scratch
  • Guess which examples actually hit the selection criteria
  • Copy-paste a generic cover letter and hope for the best
  • Walk into the panel under-prepared and second-guessing yourself
  • Miss capabilities you could have evidenced from your own career
With GovPrep
  • Upload the job pack and resume, get a first draft in minutes
  • Every STAR response mapped to the exact selection criteria
  • Tailored cover letter that references your strongest evidence
  • Talking points and gap analysis so you walk in confident
  • Interactive coaching draws out your strongest examples through guided questions
How it works

From job ad to interview-ready in four steps.

Step 1

Upload your documents

Drop in whatever you have: job ad, position description, candidate pack, selection criteria, your resume. Even a single document is enough to get started.

Step 2

Criteria extracted automatically

The platform pulls out each selection criterion and maps it to the right framework: APS, NSW, or the relevant state equivalent.

Step 3

Coached from your experience

Targeted questions draw out the right examples from your career. Your answers become structured STAR responses. Nothing invented, everything yours.

Step 4

Rehearse and refine

You also get talking points, a cover letter draft, and a gap analysis. Edit what you need, practise, and walk in prepared.

How Coach Me works

Your real experience, structured for every stage

Panels can tell when answers are rehearsed scripts. Coach Me draws out what actually happened in your career and structures it — for your written application and the panel itself.

What you provide

Can you describe a time you led a team through a significant change?

Last year our section restructured from 3 teams to 5. I was asked to lead the transition for the two new teams while keeping BAU running.

What specific actions did you take to manage resistance?

I ran weekly drop-in sessions so people could raise concerns directly. I also paired experienced staff with newer team members.

What was the measurable outcome?

We hit full operating capacity two weeks ahead of schedule. Staff satisfaction scores actually went up 12% in the post-change survey.

What you get
Situation

Our section underwent a major restructure, moving from three teams to five. I was responsible for standing up the two new teams while ensuring existing service delivery continued uninterrupted.

Task

My role was to lead the transition, manage staff concerns, and have both teams fully operational within the six-week timeline set by the Director.

Action

I ran weekly drop-in sessions where staff could raise concerns directly. I paired experienced officers with newer team members to transfer knowledge and maintain continuity. I also created a shared tracker so everyone could see progress against milestones.

Result

Both teams reached full operating capacity two weeks ahead of schedule. Staff satisfaction scores increased 12% in the post-change survey, and we maintained our SLA targets throughout the transition.

Built for Australia

Generic interview tools don't speak public sector.

GovPrep knows the frameworks that Australian hiring panels actually use: the Integrated Leadership System, the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework, and their state equivalents. Merit-based selection, capability-based interviews, the difference between Intermediate and Adept. It's all accounted for.

Cut my prep time from a full weekend to one evening. The STAR responses actually hit the capabilities. I barely had to edit them.

Coach Me pulled out examples from my volunteer work that I’d never thought to use. It ended up being the strongest part of my interview.

Finally a tool that knows the difference between Intermediate and Adept. Worth it for the gap analysis alone.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

GovPrep covers the full range of Australian government hiring: APS 1 through SES, state government roles across NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, ACT and NT, and local council positions. It knows the Integrated Leadership System, the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework, and the other state equivalents.
Coach Me asks you targeted questions to draw out relevant examples from across your career, including volunteer work, side projects, and experience you hadn't thought to include. Your answers become the basis for a structured STAR response. Everything in the final output comes from you, not from a template.
Your documents and generated content are encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t train models on your data, and you can delete any application workspace permanently at any time. Full details in our privacy policy.
Yes. Each job application has its own workspace with its own documents, criteria, STAR bank, cover letter and talking points. Switch between applications without losing your place.
Every response is built from your actual experience and written in plain, professional Australian English. The output is a draft you refine, not a generic template. Most users edit lightly and rehearse. The heavy lifting of structure and criterion-mapping is already done.
Yes. Month-to-month plans cancel at any time from your account settings. Annual plans come with a 14-day refund window.
