How to Apply for DPSA Government Jobs
Download the latest Z83 form — the January 2022 version. Older versions get your application disqualified automatically. Fill in every section in full using the exact reference number from the listing — don't write "see attached CV" instead of completing the fields, since DPSA treats that as an incomplete form. Submit before the closing date; late applications aren't accepted.
At groco.co.za, click "Pre-fill my Z83" on any job listing to generate a correctly filled form with the right reference number already in place.
Beware of Government Job Scams
DPSA never charges application fees. Legitimate government jobs are only ever posted in the official DPSA circular at dpsa.gov.za. Groco sources every listing directly from the official circular — no fake listings, no middlemen. If a website or WhatsApp message asks you to pay to apply for a government job, it's a scam.
