Editing and proofreading basics
What does RPL editing and proofreading guidance cover?
Before you submit your ACS RPL report, a final check helps catch formatting inconsistencies, language errors, and incorrect details that are easy to miss after writing.
This guidance covers the final proofreading pass only. It does not cover project report writing or RPL requirements and evidence, which we support through our Project Writing and Complete RPL Report Writing Service pages.
Your report is written but you are not sure it is submission-ready, or you want a second check for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and ANZSCO code accuracy before you submit.
Important: We review your report and flag issues; you make all corrections yourself so the report remains entirely your own work.
Proofreading checklist
How to edit and proofread your RPL report
A structured final check catches small mistakes before they reach an assessor.
Work through these checks in order, from formatting to a final full read-through.
Grammar and spelling
Check for grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors line by line.
Sentence clarity
Read each sentence on its own to catch awkward or unclear phrasing.
Correct ANZSCO code
Confirm the ANZSCO code and occupation title match your nominated occupation exactly.
Roles matched to the code
Check that your listed roles and responsibilities align with your ANZSCO code.
Consistent details
Check that names, dates, and titles are spelled the same way throughout.
Final read-through
Read the complete report once more, start to finish, before submission.
