Write an Australian cover letter that answers the role, not just the company
An Australian cover letter should show why the role makes sense, how your evidence matches the job ad, and which achievements deserve attention from the resume. Keep it specific enough for a busy recruiter, hiring manager, or selection panel to see the match quickly.
Selection evidence
Choose one or two examples that answer the most important requirements or selection criteria.
Employer context
Mention the organisation or team only where you can connect your motivation honestly to the work.
Professional close
End with confidence, availability for next steps, and contact details that match the resume.
Australia cover-letter checklist
1
Tailor the letter to the advertised role and position description.
2
Avoid repeating the resume section by section.
3
Use short paragraphs and proof-led examples rather than broad claims.
4
Check spelling, names, role title, organisation name, and attachments before sending.
5
Keep a copy of the submitted letter because interview questions may come from it.
