NAATI Employment Reference and Payslip Translation for Australian Skilled Visas

Skilled employment is often one of the largest parts of a points claim, so the evidence behind it gets read carefully. A reference that clearly shows your dates of employment, hours, duties and salary, on the employer's letterhead and signed, gives the case officer what they need to match the claim.

We translate references exactly as written. If a duty is described vaguely in the original, it stays vague in English; a translator who improves your job description is doing you no favours.

References tell the story; payslips and tax records corroborate it. Many applicants translate a selection of payslips across the claimed period rather than every single one, but follow your visa checklist or your migration agent's advice on how much to include.

If you're claiming points for qualifications as well, your degree and transcript translations belong in the same order, and your tax records help confirm that the employment was paid.

Employer-sponsored and skilled visas both lean on proof of experience. The same translated reference can usually support either, as long as it's the same document you upload.

Skills assessing authorities set their own translation requirements, though, so if your assessing authority asks for translated references, read its rules before ordering. The paperwork for a skilled visa has more gatekeepers than a medieval town, and each one keeps its own rulebook.

Payslips are dense with abbreviations for tax, social insurance and allowances. We translate each heading and amount so the case officer can follow gross pay through to net pay without a dictionary.

You receive a signed PDF for each document, ready to attach in ImmiAccount alongside a colour scan of the original.

If your employer's name has an official English version, we use it, and we keep job titles consistent between your references, contracts and payslips. Small differences in how a title is rendered can look like two different jobs to a case officer reading quickly.

References are often one or two pages; payslips are usually one page each. The quote form shows the total in pounds sterling before you pay.

Upload your references and payslips together on the quote form so company names, job titles and dates are translated consistently.
