(a) – (h)
A call for applications to an appointment pool for Home Education Moderators in the South West Region was advertised on jobs.wa.gov.au in October 2021 by the Coordinator Regional Services. A selection panel was formed, consisting of 3 staff: a Coordinator Regional Services, a Coordinator Regional Operations, and a Home Education Moderator. 30 applications were received, of which 28 met the selection criteria and were appointed to the pool. 3 applicants were appointed from the pool to specific positions. The selection process was put on hold from 22 December 2021 to 21 January 2022, due to school holidays and staff being on leave. Since the call, one full-time appointment from this pool has been made to the South West for a five-week period backfilling other home education moderators on leave.
