If you require ANMAC to assess your work experience, you must upload a Professional Reference Letter for each period of employment.

A Professional Reference Letter is a written statement issued by your employer, confirming your employment on an official letterhead. The official letterhead should include the organisation's full address details, telephone, email and website addresses. The letter must be composed and signed by your direct manager/supervisor. 

All professional reference letters must include: 

  • official company letterhead
  • your full name
  • the working hours per week
  • start and finish dates of employment
  • your position held at the organisation
  • detail about your clinical skills and competencies in your role
    • generic content and position descriptions are not sufficient
  • position title and signature of your referee

Your references need to have contact information for each referee, including their: 

  • official workplace email address (we will not accept emails that are sent from free web-based email accounts)
  • contact telephone number for the organisation (mobile phone numbers will not be accepted).

Professional references are not: 

  • pay slips
  • tax certificates
  • job descriptions
  • service and human resource statements.

Please note:

  • Professional reference letters that do not meet all the above requirements will not be assessed
  • Professional reference letters with duties copied directly from ANZSCO code definition lists or from another reference letter will not be accepted
