My current my gov profile doesnt tell me much about previous employers...start/finish dates etc.
Hi @greasyt,
Unfortunately we don't hold detailed employment history so we won't be able to provide start and finish dates. MyGov will also display more recent income statements your employers have lodged with us online. Older employers would've provided you with paper statements. You could look at viewing old income tax returns to view your employers for specific years. This won't give you specific dates, but will help piece together what years you worked where. Our page on copies of tax documents runs through obtaining these.
