Upload the completed form to the online form's Additional Form page.
Include multiple jobs in one Job Check application
You can include multiple jobs in one Job Check application as long as:
- the job details are the same — for example, they are all under the same ANZSCO code, and have the same occupation, pay, location, and minimum requirements
- they are covered by the same advertising and employment agreement.
If the location, job title, or terms of work vary you need a separate Job Check for each role.
