Australian business English style guide for professional communications with EN-AU spelling and warm, direct tone. Covers EN-AU spelling rules (colour, organise, centre, travelling) with noun/verb splits (licence/license, practice/practise) and common traps (enquiry vs. inquiry, kerb vs. curb) Provides a tone ladder matching formality to context, from Slack casual to formal letters, with recommended greetings and sign-offs (Cheers, Thanks, Kind regards) Includes a detailed avoid list replacing American corporate jargon (reach out, circle back, leverage, deep dive) and forced Australianisms (G'day, mate overuse, slang) Outlines seven core writing principles: lead with the point, short paragraphs, natural contractions, active voice, specificity, one ask per email, and matching client energy Provides real-world examples for status updates, quotes, declining requests, and delivering bad news with the right balance of directness and warmth Aussie Business English Professional but not corporate.
