A recruitment agency is paid by employers to find people for roles. When you register, you give the agency your details and your CV so a recruiter can consider you when a suitable role comes in. Registering is not a job application, and it is not a guarantee of work. A listing on a job board is not a job offer either. What it gives you is a profile a recruiter can review, plus the chance to apply to live roles with your details already in place.
Have a current CV, a short note of the roles and places you want, your availability, and the registrations, licences or checks the work needs, such as Ahpra registration, a white card, a working with children check or an NDIS worker screening check. Know your work rights in Australia and be ready to show them if an employer asks. Employers must check that a person can legally work here, and a Medicare card, tax file number or driver licence is not enough on its own.
Create a profile from the Register page using an email and password or Google. Upload your CV and tell us the kind of work you are looking for. You can also search live roles on the jobs page and apply to them. You do not need a mobile number to register. Keep your details current, because a recruiter can only match you to roles using the information you have given. Listings on CrossNation are not job offers, and CrossNation does not promise a job, a start date or a response time.
Your tax file number, bank details and super fund details are needed by an employer after you accept a position, so they do not belong on a CV or in a first application. The Fair Work Ombudsman lists what an employer can ask you to provide once you have accepted the position: name, address, phone, bank details, emergency contact, date of birth if under 21, super fund details and tax file number. Be careful with any agency or ad that asks for them earlier.
A job ad cannot advertise a pay rate below the minimum set by the Fair Work Act or an award or agreement, and you can report one to the Fair Work Ombudsman anonymously. An unpaid trial is lawful only in narrow cases: a short, supervised demonstration of skills. If you are asked to work for free beyond that, you are entitled to be paid at the appropriate minimum rate. Employers also cannot refuse to hire you because of a protected attribute such as age, sex, disability, race or family responsibilities.
