About Cover Letter Australia

Our Mission

At Cover Letter Australia, we believe that every job seeker deserves access to high-quality career resources—regardless of their background, experience level, or financial situation. Our mission is simple: to help Australians write compelling cover letters that open doors to meaningful employment opportunities.

We understand that the job search process can be stressful and overwhelming. Between crafting the perfect resume, preparing for interviews, and navigating the ever-changing job market, writing a standout cover letter often becomes an afterthought. Yet research consistently shows that a well-written cover letter can be the difference between landing an interview and having your application overlooked.

Why We Started

Cover Letter Australia was founded with a clear vision: to democratise access to professional career advice. We noticed that while there were plenty of paid services offering resume and cover letter assistance, many job seekers—particularly graduates, career changers, and those re-entering the workforce—couldn't afford these services.

We asked ourselves a simple question: Why should quality career advice be reserved for those who can afford it? The answer was clear—it shouldn't be. That's why every resource on our site is completely free.
