Giving notice during probation, future consequences for APS?

Hello all,

I am in probation at my current job and it is not what I expected, after some restructuring early into starting here my role was impacted a lot and I am no longer doing what I want to do / what I need to build my career. Anyway, I have found another role very promising in private sector, I was fast tracked to the final stage. Problem is that they will likely want me to start basically as soon as the job offer and background checks are done. Budget also made it seem less likely that internal mobility would be possible in my department unfortunately...

I checked my department's enterprise agreement and there really isn't anything clear on notice period for those on probation. I am of course aware when on probation you can basically be let go at any time, so I generally assumed it is okay to do the same when it comes to quitting. To clarify, this new role I am looking at is not in APS. The job market is very rough and didn't even expect to receive something before

I of course would only give my notice once everything is formally signed so If I only provided 1 week or like 1 day of notice - What are some potential immediate consequences and future consequences? Does leaving during probation instead of after probation look bad or have specific consequences too? Especially if I decide to return to APS in the future.

Thank you!!!!!!
