Any documentation requirements need to be clearly outlined in the position information package. It is also important to clarify what original documents need to be provided and what, if any, can be certified copies.
For Aboriginal applicants it's possible that there may be barriers to gaining ready access to documents such as those that can assist with corroboration of Aboriginality.
An added complication for some Aboriginal people is the continuity of identity documents as some people have various names, have changed names at some time in their lives or are known by other names in the community.
Managers need to be prepared for some differences within documentation such as first and middle names being used interchangeably on education records and similar documents.
Variances in identity documents will make carrying out the required employment checks complicated. Contact your local Human Resource team or Manager of Aboriginal Workforce Development for advice.

Important
- Check for any lodgement issues with PDF documents or certified copies on ROB (e.g. file size or format).
- Employment service providers like JSAs are funded by government to help candidates with these types of requirements.
