Is Seek Australia down right now?
Seek Australia is working normally for most people right now, with job search, profiles and applications loading as they should.
This page tracks the live Seek Australia status from reports sent in by real job hunters. A sudden climb in reports usually means Seek Australia down time has begun for the site or the app.
Is Seek Australia down for me or everyone?
If you are asking is Seek Australia down for me, check the report graph above first. A tall spike means the fault is wide. A flat graph means your browser, your app copy or your profile needs the fix.
Sign-in errors after a password change
A known fault hits right after a password change: the site throws a forbidden error at sign-in. The browser is holding an old copy of the sign-in page, so the new password meets stale data.
Clearing the browser history and cache clears most cases. A second browser or the app gets you in while you sort the first one. The same account works fine once the stale copy is gone.
Applying sends you to another site
Many roles do not take applications inside Seek at all. The apply button sends you to the employer site, where your Seek sign-in does not work and a fresh account is needed. That jump confuses many applicants mid-flow.
Resume uploads and profile saves
Resume uploads can fail on odd file types or big files, and profile edits can refuse to save. A plain PDF under the size limit uploads cleanly most times. Profile faults also spike during a Seek Australia outage, so check the graph first.
Job alerts and saved jobs
Job alert emails can stop when a saved search is edited or the alert toggle flips off. Saved jobs can also look lost after the app signs you out. Both lists live on your account, so the right sign-in brings them back.
Common Seek Australia Problems and Fixes
Most Seek faults sit in the browser copy or the profile. Work through these fixes in order.
Sign-in shows a forbidden error
Clear your browser history, cache and cookies, then close every browser window. Reopen the browser and sign in fresh. If it still fails, try a second browser or the SEEK app.
Your resume will not upload
Save the resume as a plain PDF and keep it small. Remove tables and images that bloat the file. Upload from the profile page rather than inside an application if the form keeps failing.
The apply button leaves Seek
That role takes applications on the employer site, so expect a fresh account there. Finish the application on that site in one sitting. Your Seek profile details will not carry across on their own.
Job alerts have stopped
Open your saved searches and check the alert toggle is on for each one. Check spam for the alert emails. A small edit to the search and a fresh save restarts a stuck alert for many users.
An application is missing from your list
Check whether the role applied inside Seek or on an employer site. Only Seek-side applications list in your account. Employer-site applications live on that site and in your email confirmations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Seek Australia free for job hunters?
Yes. Searching jobs, building a profile and applying is free. Employers pay to list roles and search profiles.
Why do I get a forbidden error at sign-in?
It often follows a password change, when the browser serves an old copy of the sign-in page. Clear history and cache, reopen the browser and sign in again.
How do I apply with my SEEK profile?
Open the role and choose the apply option, then allow access to your profile. Your details and resume fill the form. Some roles send you to the employer site instead.
What file type should my resume be?
A plain PDF works best across the site and the app. Keep the file small and the layout simple, since heavy design files can fail to upload or parse badly.
Does Seek tell me when an employer views my application?
The applied jobs area shows status notes for many Seek-side applications. Employer-site applications do not report back into Seek, so watch your email for those.
Can I use one account on the app and website?
Yes. One SEEK account covers the app, the mobile site and the desktop site. Saved jobs, alerts and applications sync across all three.
