A. Submitting evidence of employment

We will consider all relevant work experience you’ve had in the 10 years before applying. To show your work history, you must submit an Employer Template form for each job you want to include. For example, if you had two jobs, you need to send two forms.

You can download the Employer Template from our Online Portal or the Policy and Forms page on our website. Your employer or supervisor must fill out the form. We will use this form to check if you can do all the tasks expected for the Nominated Occupation.

Two information notices: one explains requirements for self-employed applicants to provide verifiable business contact details, and the other explains that part-time employment is assessed on a pro-rata basis.
