@chrisa hello, yung COE from company 1 to 4 is sufficient. no need to submit other docs as long as may signature ng manager/supervisor at may letterhead.
Dun nman sa company 5, wala ba tlagang letterhead? If that's the case, you have to submit it as a statutory declaration. Pag statutory declaration, dun mo na kelangan payslips. Mas ok sana if meron kang kahit generic na COE from HR. These will serve as supplementary documents to support the statutory declaration you got from your boss

- STATUTORY DECLARATIONS AND AFFIDAVITS
If you are unable to obtain an employment reference on a company letterhead from your employer, a
third party official Statutory Declaration or Affidavit written by a work colleague may be considered.
A Statutory Declaration or Affidavit is a legally written statement declared to be true in the presence of
an authorised witness, for example - a Notary Public.
All Statutory Declarations or Affidavits must be clearly signed by an authorised witness. The document
must state that it was Sworn Before, Signed Before or Witnessed Before the authorised witness by the
referee and signed by the authorised witness, with the date and place in which the declaration was
made and witnessed. List of Authorised Witnesses within Australia.
Please Note: If obtaining a Statutory Declaration or Affidavit outside Australia, please refer to an
Australian Embassy or the legal standard of the country in which you are applying.
The Statutory Declaration or Affidavit must be written by a third party work colleague and NOT written
by you, the applicant. Self-written Statutory Declaration or Affidavit will be assessed as not suitable.
A Statutory Declaration or Affidavit written by a work colleague needs to describe the working
relationship with you, the details of the duties you performed and with relevant dates of the
employment. It is preferable that the work colleague writing the declaration be at a supervisory level.
An example of how to define a working relationship is as follows –
‘I can confirm that (applicant name) carried out the duties and roles specified in this document at
(company name) as I was his/her (supervisor, colleague, manager etc.) who interacted with and
witnessed his/her work on a regular basis throughout the employment. ‘
All third party Statutory Declarations or Affidavits must include one of the following as supporting
evidence: (these must be in relation to you, the applicant and not the declarant)
Certified copy of payslips – preferably first & last payslip for the employment period
Certified copy a Human Resource statement or Service Certificate with employment dates
Certified copy of a Termination Letter with employment dates
Employment contracts, offer letters or appointment letters will NOT be accepted as supporting evidence
and only one of the 3 above mentioned documents should be submitted. All other types of supporting
documentation for Statutory Declarations or Affidavits will be assessed as unsuitable.
Acceptance of Statutory Declarations or Affidavits in place of employment references will be subject to
the verification and discretion of the ACS and noted to the Department of Immigration and Border
Protection for authentication against fraud and plagiarism.
The following Statutory Declarations or Affidavits are NOT suitable:
Does NOT contain words to the effect Sworn Before or Signed Before or Witnessed Before.

Stating the referee agrees with what the applicant has written in another document
Stamp and signature of Notary Public doesn’t state that the referee’s signature is witnessed
Signature of Notary Public only states Attested Copy.
Hope this helps..
