About Our Sample Reports
Suppose you plan to migrate to Australia for a career in Engineering or IT. In that case, your skills will be evaluated by bodies like Engineers Australia (EA) or the Australian Computer Society (ACS). A comprehensive report is required for your Skill Assessment. We provide free CDR and RPL samples to serve as a clear guide for structuring your own report correctly.
An unstructured or poorly formatted report can lead to delays or rejection. Our examples are designed to help you understand the standards for a successful submission.
Why Our Samples Stand Out?

Engineers Australia Compliant
Every report strictly adheres to the latest EA competency standards and formatting requirements.

Based on Approved Reports
Our examples are modelled on real, successful submissions to maximise your chances of approval.

Structured for Impact
Each sample is logically organised, making it easy to follow, reference, and understand.

Always Up-to-Date
All our CDR report samples are current and reflect the most recent EA and ACS guidelines.
Real Insights. Proven Success. Your Engineering Future Starts Here.
This resource is designed to help engineers prepare strong, clear, and successful reports. Use these examples to master the required formatting and see firsthand how to effectively present your unique skills and experience. Whether you are applying for migration or professional recognition, these samples provide trusted, actionable insight to make your engineering journey smoother.
The Advantage of Starting with a Proven Example
Engineers often seek out examples before beginning their own reports, and for good reason. High-quality samples demystify what Engineers Australia expects by providing clear guidance on format, professional tone, and structure.
By studying proven examples, you can avoid common application errors. Each sample demonstrates how to effectively connect your real-world experience to EA’s required competencies, helping you present your engineering journey with clarity and confidence. These examples are also invaluable for learning how to write compelling career episodes—a critical component for migration success.
Learn the Standards. Master the Format. Build Confidence.
How to Use These CDR Report Samples Effectively?
1. Benchmark Your Experience
Start by reviewing the engineering roles and projects in each sample. Find examples similar to your own work experience and observe how responsibilities, challenges, and outcomes are presented. This comparison helps you gauge your professional alignment and spot any potential gaps in your qualifications early on.
2. Perform a Self-Assessment
Examine how each sample clearly demonstrates key competencies. Match your skills against the indicators shown in the examples to identify your core strengths and accomplishments. This reflective process helps you notice any missing details in your narrative, allowing you to refine how you present your expertise.
3. Refine Your Writing and Structure
Our samples showcase the proper structure, technical language, and professional tone. Follow the logical flow of content and learn how achievements are directly linked to engineering outcomes. Use this insight to write your own report with confidence and precision.
4. Identify Strengths and Fill Gaps
By reading samples that Engineers Australia has approved, you can see what makes a report stand out. Use that knowledge to enhance your own CDR, clarifying technical explanations and strengthening weaker sections to create a report that truly impresses assessors.
Things To Keep in Mind While Using Our Samples
Do Not Resell, Share, or Distribute Our Samples
These materials are for your personal reference only. Respect the ethical boundaries and intellectual property of these resources.
Never Copy Content Directly
Copying from a sample is plagiarism and will lead to immediate application rejection. Always write about your own unique engineering experiences. To learn more, read our blog on “Is Plagiarism Allowed in CDR Writing?”
Avoid Mimicking the Exact Structure or Format.
Your CDR must reflect your personal journey. Our samples are guides, not rigid templates. Adapt the principles, but ensure the final report is yours.
Do Not Paraphrase the Sample’s Storyline
Altered or paraphrased stories will fail authenticity checks. Stick to truthful, detailed accounts of your own work and contributions.
Protect your application by avoiding these common pitfalls. Your integrity is your most valuable asset.
Maintaining Authenticity While Using Our Samples
These are the simple steps to showcase your true engineering journey while taking reference from our examples:
- Share Your Own Experience: Highlight real projects, tangible outcomes, and the engineering problems you personally solved.
- Be Honest and Precise: Use accurate dates, roles, and achievements. Truthful accounts demonstrate professionalism and integrity.
- Align with Your Discipline: Customise your content to match your specific engineering background, including field-specific tasks, methods, and terminology.
- Request Expert Input: For targeted support, let our experts at TheCDRWriter review your draft, helping improve its structure while ensuring originality.
Bonus Tips: Meeting Official Guidelines and Expectations
A Simple Way to Ensure You Comply with Every Rule
- Review the Official Guidelines Thoroughly: Start by carefully reading Engineers Australia’s latest instructions. Understand what is expected before you begin writing to avoid mistakes and wasted effort.
- Follow Format and Word Limits: Pay close attention to every formatting requirement and word limit. Sticking to the correct structure maintains clarity and focus.
- Cover Every Required Competency Element: Address all elements listed in the EA criteria. Do not skip parts or leave details too vague.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CDR sample?
A Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) sample is a reference document illustrating the structure, format, and content expected by Engineers Australia. It includes examples of Career Episodes, a Summary Statement, and a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) list.
Is it okay to combine different samples to create my own?
No. Combining samples is a form of plagiarism and is strongly discouraged. Your CDR must be a genuine reflection of your personal engineering journey. Using your own experiences ensures authenticity and builds trust with assessors.
Are samples available for all engineering disciplines?
Yes, we offer examples for a wide range of disciplines, including Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering. Choosing a sample relevant to your field provides the most targeted guidance.
What are the main components of a CDR?
A complete CDR includes:
- Three Career Episodes
- A Summary Statement
- A Continuing Professional Development (CPD) list
- A Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Do the word limits in the samples apply to my report?
Yes. The word limits mentioned in the official Engineers Australia guidelines are mandatory (typically 1,000-2,500 words per Career Episode). Our samples adhere to these limits, and your report must as well.
Can I change the structure shown in the examples?
It is best to stick to the official structure required by Engineers Australia. While you should tailor the content to your experience, the core format should remain unchanged to ensure a smooth assessment process.
How recent should a sample be?
You should only use recent examples updated within the last year. Engineers Australia guidelines can change, and older samples may contain outdated information. Our resources are always current.
Can I use a past applicant's report for my own application?
Absolutely not. Using another person’s CDR is plagiarism and will result in rejection and potential bans from future applications. Your report must be entirely original.
I am very thankful and happy with TheCDRWriter; their personalised approach and expert advice were flawless. I received positive outcomes from EA on the first attempt.
