50 Most Common Behavioural Interview Questions (Australia)

Behavioural interview questions ask you to describe specific past situations to predict future performance. The STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is the gold standard for structuring answers. Aim for 2–3 minutes per answer, with a concrete result wherever possible. The 50 questions below are grouped by the competency they most commonly assess.

Expert Tips for All Industries Interviews

  • Prepare 8–10 core STAR stories before any interview. A good story can be adapted to answer multiple different questions by changing the emphasis.
  • Quantify results wherever possible: '$500K cost saving', '40% reduction in processing time', 'NPS improved from 32 to 61', '12-person team'.
  • Avoid 'we' without also using 'I'. Interviewers need to understand your specific contribution, not the team's.
  • If you cannot think of an example from a professional setting, use examples from volunteer work, study, or community involvement.
  • After answering, briefly check in: 'Does that answer what you were looking for?' This signals self-awareness and invites the interviewer to probe further if they want more detail.
