11 REQUEST FOR SKILLED EMPLOYMENT STATEMENT What is a skilled employment statement? The skilled employment statement is requested by an applicant for the purpose of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) Points Test for Skilled Migration DIBP will award points for employment in a skilled occupation, either in Australia or overseas. AITSL will prepare a skilled employment statement for applicants who submit appropriate evidence and who receive a successful assessment outcome. The statement will be attached to the AITSL assessment outcome cover letter for lodging with the Skilled Migration visa application. If an applicant applies for a skilled employment statement at the time of assessment, this service is included in the assessment fee. The statement will list employment in the nominated school teacher or closely related school teacher occupations on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) undertaken in Australia and/or overseas in the past ten (10) years, where the professional level of the employment is comparable to the level required for the nominated occupation. The advice AITSL provides is based on the evidence submitted by the applicant and does not constitute an opinion as to the veracity of the claims made or a guarantee of the awarding of points under the skilled migration points test. Determination of points remains at the discretion of delegated officers of DIBP. Any enquiries or reviews of the skilled employment statement issued by AITSL should be addressed to DIBP. A Skilled Employment Statement is separate and unrelated to an Application for Skills Assessment. It is not a requirement of the AITSL Skills Assessment that you are employed as a teacher. What documents are needed? The skilled employment advice is based on original statements of employment only. Statements of employment remain the official record and will NOT be returned to the applicant. Certified copies of employment statements, pay slips or employment contracts are not acceptable. The original statement from each employing authority must be on official letter head, signed, dated and include: name of school name of employer address of employer dates of employment start (dd/mm/yy) finish (dd/mm/yy) title of teaching position/s hours employed per week.

This does not include professional practice undertaken as part of the initial teacher education qualification. Part time employment of a minimum of 20 hours per week will be considered. Can AITSL provide a skilled employment statement after an assessment certificate has been issued? Yes, applicants who hold a valid AITSL Skills Assessment Certificate may apply to AITSL for a Skilled Employment Statement. Applicants with an existing Skilled Employment Statement may apply to AITSL for a new statement to include additional employment recognition. The fee for each of these additional services is AUD200.
