What this gives you
Public sector job application templates with clear boundaries.
The pack is built for applications that may need an APS resume template, government cover letter, one-page pitch, job-application statement of claims template or selection criteria response. The templates help you organise your evidence, but you still need to tailor everything to the job ad and portal instructions.
Buyer guidance
The PDF buyer guide, final application checklist and example wording bank help you adapt the templates to the advertisement, information pack and application portal.
Clean application format
The files are designed as practical Word documents rather than decorative layouts, so the focus stays on truthful examples, evidence and employer instructions.
Best suited for
APS, state government, local council, university, health, education and public-sector-style applications that ask for structured written evidence.
Practical boundary
This is a self-serve template pack, not a personalised writing service. It does not guarantee an interview, job offer, ATS result or government-job outcome.
Before applying
Replace every placeholder, use your own truthful evidence, follow the job ad exactly and remove any instruction pages or notes that are not meant for submission.
Product Q&A
Questions before you buy
Quick checks before opening the Gumroad checkout page.
- What software do I need?
- The editable templates are Microsoft Word .docx files. The supporting buyer guide, checklist and wording bank are PDFs.
- Is the wording finished for me?
- No. The pack gives you structure, prompts and examples. You still need to add your own evidence, role details, achievements and employer-specific wording.
- Is Paper & Proof affiliated with government?
- No. Paper & Proof is not affiliated with the Australian Public Service Commission, any Commonwealth agency, or any state or territory government.
- What does statement of claims mean here?
- Some Australian public-sector job ads use statement of claims to mean a short merit-based job application response. The included statement of claims template is for that job-application context only; it is not a legal statement of claim.
- Does it guarantee ATS or shortlisting results?
- No. No template can guarantee screening, interview or employment outcomes. Always tailor the file to the advertisement and employer instructions.
- How do I get the files?
- Use the Gumroad checkout button on this page. After purchase, Gumroad handles payment and digital file delivery.
