ABF Officer Recruit SJT case studies

The ABF Officer Recruit Situational Judgement Test is a screening assessment used in recruitment for entry-level Australian Border Force officer roles. It presents realistic workplace scenarios and asks you to choose the most and least effective response from a set of options, assessing judgement rather than factual knowledge. Scenarios typically touch on integrity and professional standards, communication with colleagues and travellers, decision making under pressure, teamwork, community focus, and personal resilience. Because there is no single textbook, preparation means practising the reasoning behind good judgement: reading each scenario carefully, identifying the competing pressures, and choosing responses that are lawful, proportionate, transparent and consistent with public service values. Topics on this exam: Integrity, ethics and professional standards, Communication and interpersonal skills, Decision making and judgement under pressure, Teamwork and collaboration, Customer and community focus, and Resilience, adaptability and self-management. The ABF Officer Recruit SJT case studies are 5 cases and about 1,844 words.
