Tender Writers are business professionals who specialise in writing grant and tender applications — either in-house or for clients. They research available tender opportunities, gather key documents and information, write up the tender application, and then submit before the due date. Tender Writers often develop and write supporting business documents and may also write applications for grants and government funding.
As a Tender Writer you could be checking the AusTender website for the latest tender and procurement opportunities, meeting with the general manager to finalise the list of relevant tenders to be pursued, reading the tender addenda and application information, writing detailed responses for each of the selection criteria, submitting the tender via an online portal, presenting a status report to senior management.
There are no clear salary figures for Tender Writers working in Australia right now. Increase your earning capacity by obtaining university qualifications in professional writing and business administration.

There are no clear employment figures for Australian Tender Writers at this time. They are employed by large enterprises and non-profits, but many are self-employed with their own freelance writing and consulting business.
Tender Writers need outstanding writing skills and a detailed knowledge of the tender writing process. You could launch your career with VET qualifications such as the Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing and the Certificate IV in Business (Business Administration).
Alternately, a degree in business or professional writing is also an excellent pathway. Suitable qualifications include Bachelor of Business (Marketing), Bachelor of Communications, and Bachelor of Arts (Professional Writing and Publishing).
