ATS Resume Checker Australia
Applying for jobs in Australia? Our free ATS resume checker scans your resume against the job ad — flagging missing keywords, formatting issues, and Australian-specific mistakes that get resumes binned by PageUp, LiveHire, and other local ATS systems.
How Australian ATS Systems Work
Most Australian employers — from ASX-listed companies to state government departments — use applicant tracking systems. The most common are PageUp (used by over 40% of ASX 200 companies), LiveHire, SmartRecruiters, and Workday.
These systems scan your resume for keywords from the job ad, rank candidates, and filter out resumes that don't meet minimum criteria. If your resume isn't optimised, it's rejected before a human ever reads it.
Common ATS Mistakes in Australian Resumes
Australian job seekers make specific mistakes that ATS systems penalise:
- Using US spelling ("organization" instead of "organisation") — some ATS treat these as different keywords
- Missing work rights/visa status — many ATS systems have mandatory fields for this
- Not addressing selection criteria keywords for government roles
- Using creative layouts, tables, or graphics that break ATS parsing
- Not including both the acronym and full term (e.g., "Registered Nurse (RN)", "White Card (Construction Induction)")
