How long should an Australian CV be?
Two to three pages is standard in Australia. Graduates can use one to two pages.
Should I include a photo or date of birth?
No. Australian employers don't expect a photo, age, marital status or religion, and leaving them out reduces bias.
Should I mention my work rights?
Yes — a short line such as 'Australian Citizen' or 'Graduate visa (485), full work rights until 2028' saves recruiters time.
