The ACE EN Process commences on 1 June 2020; with an initial one-off entry point for new graduate ENs to apply to participate in the process. Subsequently, a National Talent Pool of eligible applicants will be created in July 2020. The EN National Talent Pool will remain open indefinitely; with applicants exiting and entering based on their ability to meet the eligibility criteria.
Applicants throughout the country, will be able to utilise the ACE online portal to put in a single application; which will subsequently be shared with all employers participating in the process.
After the launch, there will be specific entry points scheduled annually, when applicants may apply to enter the EN National Talent Pool. Entry points will align with annual State Exam dates, as summarised in the table below:
