  • 1.  Core Activity

    Posted 06-24-2026 10:17 AM

    I am currently preparing my PER submission and would appreciate your guidance on a few points.

    1. For each Core Activity, is there a recommended minimum word count for the Situation, Task, Action, and Result sections? I note that the portal allows a substantial number of characters; however, my current examples are approximately 300–700 words for each competency. Would this generally be sufficient if the required competency is clearly demonstrated?
    2. Is it advisable to complete all PER examples first and then seek feedback on whether the examples adequately demonstrate the required competencies before submitting them for verification?
    3. Regarding the Supervisor, I have only one direct supervisor (director) throughout my employment. Would it be acceptable for the same supervisor to verify all of my PER submissions, including the different competencies and core activities?

    Thank you for your assistance and guidance. I look forward to your advice.

    Hi Vijaya,

    Please see my responses below

    Q1.  The word count is 500-750 split across the star template.  You may write 100 words for situation and task and 200 for the action and results sections.

    Q2.  In the libraries section of this group, you will have everything that you need regarding the different PER areas.

    Q3.  Yes that is fine.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Harry
