The Letter of Non Confirmation of Employment is a crucial document in the Australian recruitment process, used when an organization needs to formally communicate to a job applicant that they have not been selected for a position. This document must comply with Australian employment law, including the Fair Work Act 2009, privacy legislation, and anti-discrimination laws. It serves multiple purposes: providing clear communication to the applicant, maintaining professional standards in recruitment, creating a record of the decision, and protecting the organization legally. The letter typically follows a job application or interview process and should be sent in a timely manner to all unsuccessful candidates who have progressed to a certain stage in the recruitment process.

1. Recipient Details: Full name and address of the job applicant

2. Reference Information: Details of the position applied for, date of application/interview

3. Main Message: Clear statement that the application was unsuccessful

4. Reason Statement: Brief, general explanation for the decision (keeping it professional and non-specific to avoid legal issues)

5. Future Applications Statement: Standard statement about whether the organization will keep their details on file

6. Closing and Signature: Professional closing, including contact details of the sender and their position
