If you have found a government role and want the written application prepared, Team 3Thirty’s offer is straightforward: $497 including GST for the role-targeted CV and every written document the job asks for. We start with the vacancy, develop the evidence from your real experience and deliver editable work for you to review. Government Résumés also offers tailored writing, so compare the actual package rather than assuming one provider writes applications and the other only coaches.
Commercial disclosure: This article is published by Team 3Thirty, one of the providers being compared. It describes our approved service terms and the competitor’s public material checked on 4 October 2026. We have not purchased or tested Government Résumés and do not claim independent evidence that either provider produces better recruitment outcomes.
In this guide
The businesses behind the services
Government Résumés uses the words “We specialise exclusively” for its government application work. The same page’s footer names 1300 Resume Pty Ltd as the operator. Its wider 1300 Resume website advertises private-sector and industry services alongside government work.
The company behind the government brand is therefore a multi-sector résumé business. Reading the exclusive wording as a description of the whole company would leave out part of its advertised activity. That finding establishes business scope, while the quality of the work still needs to be judged on its own evidence.
Team 3Thirty offers government application support Australia-wide, with its deepest experience in NSW Government recruitment. Applicants considering a NSW role can use that focus as one factor when choosing help, alongside the proposed work and the examples they need to develop.
A broader business and a NSW focus describe different service contexts. Neither establishes the quality of the documents you would receive. Ask each provider how it would handle your specific role and who would work with you.
Both providers offer written documents
Government Résumés’ package page advertises résumés and written application material, including selection criteria and related responses. It offers document-specific products as well as broader packages. Confirm the page limits and components in the option you are considering.
Team 3Thirty’s Complete Government Application costs $497 including GST for one accepted role. It includes the CV and every written application document required by that job advertisement, with no separate page fees. You provide accurate career information and genuine examples; we develop the written pack for you to review and submit.
A CV purchase and a complete application represent different amounts of work. Get each quote against the same list of required documents so that the comparison includes the material you would otherwise need to prepare yourself.
Record the scope side by side
This compares Government Résumés’ advertised options with Team 3Thirty’s Complete Government Application. It is a comparison of scope, rather than a ranking of writing quality. The competitor’s Basic package is identified where its limits matter; its other packages have different inclusions.
| Area | Government Résumés | Team 3Thirty Complete Government Application |
|---|---|---|
| Government focus | Government application brand operated by a wider career-services company. | Government and public-sector application support Australia-wide, with deepest experience in NSW Government recruitment. |
| Written work for one vacancy | Basic includes a tailored CV and a one-page application. Other options cover more written work; confirm your required components. | A role-targeted CV and every written application document the job ad requires: letter, pitch, criteria, targeted questions or other responses as applicable. |
| Price and length | Basic lists $499 or $599 including GST, depending on level, with the one-page application limit. | $497 including GST. No separate CV, document, page or seniority charges. Employer word and page limits still apply. |
| Developing the evidence | Advertises role customisation and a STAR examples guide. Confirm its information-gathering process. | Start with rough notes, dot points, an old CV or earlier applications. We ask focused questions and build the writing from your actual actions and supported results. |
| Editable delivery | Advertises Word and PDF files. | Fully editable Word documents for you to check, update and reuse. |
| Review support | Basic advertises a 30-day revision period. | Unlimited revisions within the agreed scope while the role remains open; you review and submit the application. |
| Search and interview services | Other packages advertise coaching, job recommendations and further applications. | The $497 purchase covers one written application. Ongoing search and interview support have separate offers and terms. |
Sources checked 4 October 2026: Government Résumés packages and pricing and Team 3Thirty Complete Government Application. The Basic package is a published example, not a quote for every competitor option. Ask the provider to confirm the package that covers all the documents your vacancy requires.
Ongoing support needs its own comparison
Government Résumés advertises ongoing support in higher-tier packages. Team 3Thirty also has campaign offers, so continuing help is available from both businesses. Compare the application allowance and what happens when that allowance is used.
The practical details matter while a search is underway. Ask how role preferences are recorded and how recommendations explain suitability. Clarify how examples from earlier applications are retained, who updates them and what support begins when an interview invitation arrives.
Support periods should be confirmed in the written offer. Keep the agreed dates with the application limits so that you can judge the package against the pace and type of roles you expect to pursue.
Work through one application before buying
Suppose an advertisement asks for a résumé, a two-page cover letter and two 300-word responses. This is a hypothetical example, and the actual instructions for your vacancy govern what you submit. Ask each provider to confirm responsibility for all four pieces of written material.
Then explain where you need help. Your résumé might already contain useful achievements while one targeted response needs a stronger example. A discussion about those gaps reveals more about the proposed process than a list of package features.
You will still need to check every claim and approve the final documents. A writer can help you explain your experience, while you remain the source of the facts and the person who will discuss them at assessment.
Read reviews alongside the scope
Our Government Résumés review guide describes its small Trustpilot sample and the limits of the research. Reviews about the wider 1300 Resume business belong in a separate context. Look for feedback about the service and circumstances closest to your purchase.
If you want a broader way to assess a quote, the NSW application-help buying guide covers evidence gathering, revisions and delivery. You can use it when speaking with either business.
