Local note (AU)

Australia — a "character reference" for jobs or court should state your relationship, how long you have known the person, and one honest example. Employer references typically confirm dates and role only.

Writing tips

Keep patient details de-identified. Focus on clinical skill, teamwork, and bedside manner you observed directly.
