Create ResumeIf you’re applying for a FedEx-style warehouse role in Australia, your resume must clearly show safety awareness (WHS), parcel handling accuracy, and reliability in shift-based environments. Hiring managers are not looking for fancy wording, they want proof you can safely sort, move, scan, and dispatch freight in a fast-paced warehouse.
Your resume should immediately demonstrate:
Experience (or ability) to sort parcels by postcode, route, or dispatch priority
Safe manual handling and understanding of WHS procedures
Reliability for early morning, night, or rotating shifts
Ability to follow scanning systems and logistics workflows
Physical capability and attention to detail
If these are not obvious within the first half page, your resume will likely be rejected.
Australian warehouse resumes follow a clean, practical, ATS-friendly structure. No graphics, no clutter, just clear proof of capability.

To stand out:
Show you understand WHS basics
Emphasise reliability and shift availability
Keep your resume simple and clear
Avoid over-explaining irrelevant experience

Saying “hard worker” without proof is useless.
In Australia, safety is non-negotiable. If it’s missing, it’s a red flag.
Warehouse roles depend heavily on shifts. Not mentioning this hurts your chances.
Recruiters scan resumes in seconds. Keep it structured.
If you don’t mention scanning, sorting, or freight handling, you look inexperienced.
From a hiring perspective, the strongest resumes show:
Immediate relevance to warehouse tasks
Clear safety awareness
Consistent work history or reliability signals
Physical readiness for the role
Ability to follow systems and processes
Recruiters are not looking for perfection, they’re looking for dependability and safety compliance.
