Nomination (Form 1000)

Why This Document Matters

The nomination is a statutory pillar, not a courtesy letter. Assessors use it to test whether someone with national standing in your field endorses your exceptional record and Australian benefit. A weak nominator can undermine an otherwise strong portfolio.

What to Prepare

1. Completed nomination form (commonly Form 1000) for the current program instructions
2. Nominator identity / status evidence (citizenship, PR, or organisation registration)
3. Nominator CV or organisational profile showing national reputation
4. A detailed statement covering your achievements, prominence, and benefit to Australia
5. Proof of how the nominator knows your work
