Free resume checker for nurses in Australia
A nursing resume is read for registration, setting and scope first. A reader should be able to tell at a glance what you are registered as, where you have worked and what you looked after.
Check your nursing resume
Get a Resume Audit score and a Role Match score, your biggest fix first, and the open roles that fit you. Free, no card needed.
What the free check looks at
Resume Audit
Scores the resume itself, whatever the job. It looks at three things.
- Impact and evidence. Numbers, outcomes rather than duties, and the scale of what you handled.
- Clarity and writing. Strong action verbs, no filler, and how easily it can be scanned.
- Structure and ATS. Contact details, employer, title and dates on every role, and clean text an applicant tracking system can read.
Role Match
Compares the resume with a role and level you choose.
- Skills and tools for the role, named the way employers name them.
- Evidence of how you work. Claims such as "team player" score nothing without an example.
- Level fit and experience. Scope, progression, and how relevant and recent your work is.
You also get your biggest single fix first, then the open roles that fit your resume. You can upload a PDF or paste the text.
What a strong resume for nurses needs
- Your registration, stated plainly: Registered Nurse or Enrolled Nurse, and that it is current with AHPRA.
- Each setting and specialty by name, such as emergency, theatre, aged care, mental health or community, with the size of the ward or unit.
- Scope in numbers: beds, patients per shift, staff you worked alongside, students or new starters you precepted.
- Outcomes where you can honestly claim them: falls reduced, medication errors caught, audit results, time to triage.
- Training and checks employers ask for, such as current CPR, manual handling, a police check and immunisation records, kept in one short section.
- For new graduates: placement settings and hours, then any paid or volunteer care work.
Mistakes to avoid
- A list of duties ('provided patient care') with no setting, no scale and no result.
- Leaving out registration details, or burying them at the end.
- Date gaps between roles with no one-line explanation.
- Listing every short course instead of the few that match the job.
Patient information never belongs on a resume. Describe the work and the result, never a person.

Questions
- Is it really free?
Yes. Scoring your resume is free and needs no card. Paid plans add more tools, but the check and your scores are free. - What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system is the software many employers use to collect and sort applications. The check flags things that can make a resume harder for one to read, such as missing dates or a layout that does not read as plain text. - Will a high score get me an interview?
No score can promise that. It shows how clearly your resume presents your impact and fit, which are things you can improve. Employers decide who they interview. - What can I upload?
A PDF, or paste the text of your resume.
