Are you ready to step up, or are you currently acting in a Clerk Grade 5/6 role but struggling to secure the permanent position?
A Grade 5/6 interview is a critical transition point. You can no longer rely on examples where you simply "followed instructions." Panels are actively looking for candidates who demonstrate initiative, complex problem-solving, and the ability to work with autonomy.
At PS Interview Coach, we specialise in helping candidates navigate the challenging leap to the Clerk Grade 5/6 classification. As experts in government recruitment, we know exactly how to elevate your STAR examples to prove you have the autonomy, judgement, and stakeholder skills required to succeed in the NSW Public Sector.
According to the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework, a Clerk Grade 5/6 employee generally operates at the Adept level. This is the level where you shift from purely executing tasks to owning them. You must demonstrate the following specific capabilities:
Applying your knowledge and experience to analyse complex issues, interpret policy, and recommend independent solutions.
Demonstrating your ability to manage your own workload autonomously, adjust to competing priorities, and deliver project outcomes.
Engaging with a wider range of internal and external stakeholders to exchange information, resolve complex matters, and provide customer-focused services.
We ensure your interview responses leave no doubt that you are ready for the responsibilities and autonomy of a Clerk Grade 5/6 role.
We help you upgrade your examples to the 'Adept' capability level. We move your narrative away from "I did this task" to "I identified this problem, consulted these stakeholders, and implemented this solution."
Because 5/6 roles require autonomy, your answers must highlight your ability to manage your own workload and exercise sound judgement without constant manager oversight. We teach you how to weave this seamlessly into your interview.
If you're already acting in the role, you run the risk of assuming the panel knows your work. We calibrate your pitch so you systematically hit every scoring marker on their Capability Framework sheet.

At the 5/6 level, the panel expects you to move away from just "following procedures". You must demonstrate the 'Adept' level of the Capability Framework, meaning you can work independently, solve complex technical problems, plan and prioritise effectively, and take initiative without constant managerial oversight.
Yes. This is incredibly common in NSW Government. Often, candidates rely too heavily on the fact that they are already doing the job, rather than articulating their value using the STAR method. We help you translate your "acting" experience into high-scoring, calibrated examples that prove you deserve the permanent classification.
Don't let another panel pass you over. Work with the hiring experts who know exactly what it takes to score highly at the Clerk Grade 5/6 level.
