Resume template FAQs
What is the best resume template for Australian jobs?+
For most Australian jobs, a clean single-column resume template with clear headings works best, because applicant tracking systems (ATS) read it most reliably. On ProfessionalResume.au the Professional, Modern and Government templates are the safest choices for ATS. Use more designed templates such as Creative only where the employer is unlikely to use ATS screening.
Are the resume templates on ProfessionalResume.au free?+
Four of the ten resume templates (Professional, Modern, Executive and Graduate) are free, with PDF download. The other six (Creative, Minimalist, Corporate, Government, Tech and Healthcare) and Word (DOCX) export are part of the Pro plan at $19.95 AUD per month.
Should an Australian resume include a photo?+
Generally no. Australian employers normally do not expect a photo, date of birth or marital status on a resume, and leaving them out helps avoid bias. Our templates are laid out for the Australian format without a photo section.
What format should I download my resume in?+
PDF keeps the layout exactly as designed and is accepted by most Australian employers. Some employers and recruiters ask for a Word (.docx) file, which Pro users can export. Always follow the format in the job ad if it specifies one.
Can I check my resume template with an ATS scanner?+
Yes. ProfessionalResume.au includes a free ATS scanner that scores your resume against a job description and shows missing keywords, so you can test your resume before you apply.
