People applying for public service jobs would have nameless applications under Labor to boost gender equality.
The measure would apply to first-round applicants vying for Australian Public Service jobs if the opposition wins government at Saturday's election.
Labor leader Bill Shorten told a class of year 11 and 12 students at St Joseph College - a girls' school at Gosford on the NSW central coast - about the move.
"In the Commonwealth Public Service, we're going to have gender-neutral CVs," he said on Monday.
Experience and education would remain on nameless resumes.
"We just got to start eliminating what I call to be unconscious bias," Mr Shorten said.
In 2017, the public service paused a "blind recruitment" trial after a major study found it led to less diversity.
Mr Shorten was responding to a student who asked him what he would do to ensure women in his parliamentary team were embraced.
