Keep reading because a job as a Customs Flexible Employee may be for you!

Customs Flexible Employees (CFEs) are employed at most international airports around Australia and positions are advertised when vacancies become available. As a Customs Flexible Employee your key role will be to perform Outwards Immigration functions for travellers leaving the country, process Tourist Refund Scheme claims, and assist with queue marshalling of inwards arriving travellers.

Unlike other Customs Offices deployed at airports, CFEs are not on a set roster but work irregular and intermittent hours, to assist our airports in processing travellers during peak periods. While the hours vary from one airport to another, the shifts tend to be approximately 4 hours in length, can be early mornings, late nights and on weekends.

As you will be employed to assist with peak periods, you may be called in at very short notice - so your ability to be flexible is a key criteria when considering applying.

CFE positions are not the same as Customs Trainee positions and are not an alternative route for gaining a full time position with Customs. These positions could suit students, retirees, parents with school age children; anyone who has no need for a full time job but would like to supplement their income, can be flexible about the hours they work and the notice they require, and have a desire to contribute to Australia's border protection at the same time.

All CFE positions are advertised on this website, so if there aren't positions vacant today, remember to check the site regularly.
