The VETASSESS full skills assessment involves evaluating your qualifications and employment against the suitability of your nominated occupation. It includes a Qualification Assessment, which assesses the educational level comparability of your qualifications on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and determines the relevance of your qualifications for your nominated occupation, and an Employment Assessment, which determines whether your work experience (obtained either in Australia or overseas) is at an appropriate skill level and relevant to your nominated occupation. A positive assessment of both qualifications and employment is required for a successful skills assessment for migration purposes.

Can I submit a new skills assessment application?The appeal decision is final. Applicants are not eligible to apply for skills assessment against the same occupation with the same qualification and employment claims once they have received an appeal outcome.
The required documents include proof of correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims. If you're applying for Priority Processing, you must have these documents ready to upload to the online form. If you're applying by mail, you need to provide high-quality color copies of the required documents along with the signed and completed application form.
What documents are required for the application?
Eligibility CriteriaIn this section, you will find a list of documents that you will need to submit as part of your application. Please note that VETASSESS is under no obligation to seek further information from you at any time and can make a decision based on the evidence provided with your application. Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification. If applying online, you'll need to upload and submit high-quality color scans of proof of identity, qualification, and employment documents. If you're submitting the documents by mail, please provide high-quality color copies of the required documents along with the signed and completed application form.Q2: Is there an exam or interview for the assessment?As part of the assessment process, VETASSESS may contact you to clarify information in the application and to discuss your occupational skills.Q3: Will the assessment require English language skills such as IELTS test results?You are not required to provide evidence of English language proficiency for a skills assessment application with a nominated general professional occupation. However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation. A person receiving minimal living allowances or scholarships designed to cover study expenses would not be considered to be remunerated.Q5: Do I need to provide verified copies of qualifications from Pakistan and Nigeria?We no longer require applicants to provide verified copies of qualifications from HEC Pakistan or the registrar's office of the awarding body in the case of Nigeria. However, although you do not need to provide verified copies of your qualifications when you apply, we may, during the assessment process, ask you to provide verified copies if an assessor identifies this is necessary to complete an assessment. This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice. Will you ask for additional documents for this?No, we will not ask for additional documents. A VETASSESS skills assessment for migration purposes involves assessing your qualifications and employment against the suitability of your nominated occupation. We provide the Date Deemed Skilled and Points Test Advice as part of positively assessed applications based on the documents submitted at the time of lodgement. We do not request additional documentary evidence for this. If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal. When lodging your application, please provide your most recently dated employment evidence to establish the latest end date. This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment. You must provide at least two payslips (ideally, your first and last) for each employment position. For employment of longer duration (i.e. more than 3 years), please provide payslips from the beginning, middle, and end of each employment position held. Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement. For instance, if you have been working for two employers at the same time, and the total hours from both employments amount to at least 20 hours per week, we may consider this concurrent employment as meeting the 20 hours per week requirement.List of Required DocumentsAll documents must be high-quality color scans of the original documents.

Not all qualifications from the Philippines are eligible for PRC licensure examinations. Therefore, if you hold a PRC license, it is essential that you submit a copy of PRC licensure.

Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification. If applying online, you'll need to upload and submit high-quality color scans of proof of identity, qualification, and employment documents.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation.

However, although you do not need to provide verified copies of your qualifications when you apply, we may, during the assessment process, ask you to provide verified copies if an assessor identifies this is necessary to complete an assessment. This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them.

The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment.

Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement.

Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation.

The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided.

For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required.

However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement.

Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation.

However, although you do not need to provide verified copies of your qualifications when you apply, we may, during the assessment process, ask you to provide verified copies if an assessor identifies this is necessary to complete an assessment. This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment.

Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement.

Eligibility CriteriaIn this section, you will find a list of documents that you will need to submit as part of your application. Please note that VETASSESS is under no obligation to seek further information from you at any time and can make a decision based on the evidence provided with your application. Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification. If applying online, you'll need to upload and submit high-quality color scans of proof of identity, qualification, and employment documents. If you're submitting the documents by mail, please provide high-quality color copies of the required documents along with the signed and completed application form.Q2: Is there an exam or interview for the assessment?As part of the assessment process, VETASSESS may contact you to clarify information in the application and to discuss your occupational skills.Q3: Will the assessment require English language skills such as IELTS test results?You are not required to provide evidence of English language proficiency for a skills assessment application with a nominated general professional occupation. However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation. A person receiving minimal living allowances or scholarships designed to cover study expenses would not be considered to be remunerated.Q5: Do I need to provide verified copies of qualifications from Pakistan and Nigeria?We no longer require applicants to provide verified copies of qualifications from HEC Pakistan or the registrar's office of the awarding body in the case of Nigeria. However, although you do not need to provide verified copies of your qualifications when you apply, we may, during the assessment process, ask you to provide verified copies if an assessor identifies this is necessary to complete an assessment. This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

We do not request additional documentary evidence for this. If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal. When lodging your application, please provide your most recently dated employment evidence to establish the latest end date. This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment.

For employment of longer duration (i.e. more than 3 years), please provide payslips from the beginning, middle, and end of each employment position held. Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement. For instance, if you have been working for two employers at the same time, and the total hours from both employments amount to at least 20 hours per week, we may consider this concurrent employment as meeting the 20 hours per week requirement.List of Required DocumentsAll documents must be high-quality color scans of the original documents.

Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification. If applying online, you'll need to upload and submit high-quality color scans of proof of identity, qualification, and employment documents.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation. A person receiving minimal living allowances or scholarships designed to cover study expenses would not be considered to be remunerated.Q5: Do I need to provide verified copies of qualifications from Pakistan and Nigeria?We no longer require applicants to provide verified copies of qualifications from HEC Pakistan or the registrar's office of the awarding body in the case of Nigeria. However, although you do not need to provide verified copies of your qualifications when you apply, we may, during the assessment process, ask you to provide verified copies if an assessor identifies this is necessary to complete an assessment. This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal. When lodging your application, please provide your most recently dated employment evidence to establish the latest end date. This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment.

Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement. For instance, if you have been working for two employers at the same time, and the total hours from both employments amount to at least 20 hours per week, we may consider this concurrent employment as meeting the 20 hours per week requirement.List of Required DocumentsAll documents must be high-quality color scans of the original documents.

Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification. If applying online, you'll need to upload and submit high-quality color scans of proof of identity, qualification, and employment documents.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation.

This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal.

This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment.

However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement.

Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation.

However, although you do not need to provide verified copies of your qualifications when you apply, we may, during the assessment process, ask you to provide verified copies if an assessor identifies this is necessary to complete an assessment. This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal.

This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment.

Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required.

However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement.

Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation. A person receiving minimal living allowances or scholarships designed to cover study expenses would not be considered to be remunerated.Q5: Do I need to provide verified copies of qualifications from Pakistan and Nigeria?We no longer require applicants to provide verified copies of qualifications from HEC Pakistan or the registrar's office of the awarding body in the case of Nigeria.

The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment. You must provide at least two payslips (ideally, your first and last) for each employment position. For employment of longer duration (i.e. more than 3 years), please provide payslips from the beginning, middle, and end of each employment position held. Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement. For instance, if you have been working for two employers at the same time, and the total hours from both employments amount to at least 20 hours per week, we may consider this concurrent employment as meeting the 20 hours per week requirement.List of Required DocumentsAll documents must be high-quality color scans of the original documents.

What is the requirement for qualification evidence?
Eligibility CriteriaIn this section, you will find a list of documents that you will need to submit as part of your application. Please note that VETASSESS is under no obligation to seek further information from you at any time and can make a decision based on the evidence provided with your application. Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment criteria. Only employment undertaken after the Date Deemed Skilled will be counted as skilled employment that is eligible for points test purposes. Years of work experience required to meet the skills assessment criteria are not counted as skilled employment eligible for points test purposes. For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification. If applying online, you'll need to upload and submit high-quality color scans of proof of identity, qualification, and employment documents.

However, for information about the visa requirements for English language proficiency, please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.Q4: Can my PhD studies be considered as employment?VETASSESS will not accept doctoral studies supported only by living allowances and/or scholarships. Consistent with the Department of Home Affairs requirements, for skilled employment to be considered 'remunerated,' applicants must be engaged in the occupation on a paid basis, generally at the award or market rate of the occupation.

This also applies to qualifications from other regions. If our assessors ask for verified copies, you will need to arrange them. For Priority Processing, the request for verified copies may delay the assessment process beyond the standard 10 business days.Q6: Will VETASSESS request further documents if my employment or qualification evidence doesn't include exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY)?You must provide complete information and required documents when lodging your application. The exact start and end dates (DD/MM/YYYY) of your employment must come from the official evidence. We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice.

We do not request additional documentary evidence for this. If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal. When lodging your application, please provide your most recently dated employment evidence to establish the latest end date. This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment. You must provide at least two payslips (ideally, your first and last) for each employment position. For employment of longer duration (i.e. more than 3 years), please provide payslips from the beginning, middle, and end of each employment position held. Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement. For instance, if you have been working for two employers at the same time, and the total hours from both employments amount to at least 20 hours per week, we may consider this concurrent employment as meeting the 20 hours per week requirement.List of Required DocumentsAll documents must be high-quality color scans of the original documents.

Therefore, please make sure you include complete documentation for assessment purposes.When applying for Priority Processing, you must have sufficient evidence supporting correct fee payment, proof of identity, qualification, and employment claims ready to upload to the online form. Returning applicants with a previous full skills assessment are not eligible to apply for a Priority Processing application under the same occupation which has been previously assessed, unless the overall outcome was positive and all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively. Renewal applications are eligible for Priority Processing, provided all previous periods of employment and qualifications were assessed positively.For applicants who meet the skills assessment criteria, we will then determine the date that you were deemed skilled in your nominated occupation within a ten-year period.

For examples of scenarios, refer to key terms for employment assessment criteria.FAQsQ1: Do I need to submit original or certified documents as part of my evidence?Your supporting documentation does not require certification.

We are not obligated to seek further information from you and can make a decision based on the evidence provided. While you are strongly advised to provide exact dates for each employment position, we will not request the exact day if only the month is provided on the official documents. For assessment purposes, we will take the start date as the end of the month on your document and the end date as the first date of the month. For example, if the statement of service mentions employment duration from March 2018 to November 2020, we will consider the start date as 31 March 2018 and the end date as 1 November 2020.Q7: As part of a full skills assessment with a positive overall outcome, VETASSESS also provides Points Test Advice. Will you ask for additional documents for this?No, we will not ask for additional documents. A VETASSESS skills assessment for migration purposes involves assessing your qualifications and employment against the suitability of your nominated occupation. We provide the Date Deemed Skilled and Points Test Advice as part of positively assessed applications based on the documents submitted at the time of lodgement. We do not request additional documentary evidence for this. If you want to add more employment and qualifications for Points Test Advice after receiving a positive assessment outcome, you may consider applying for a Renewal application.Q8: How does VETASSESS determine the end date for ongoing employment?The end date for ongoing employment is determined from the official documentation provided with your application, rather than, for example, the dates that you or your agent may enter into our application portal. When lodging your application, please provide your most recently dated employment evidence to establish the latest end date. This can be provided in the form of your most recent payslip or a recently dated statement of service.Q9: Do I need to provide all my payslips for the assessment?No, it is not necessary to provide all your payslips to assess your employment. You must provide at least two payslips (ideally, your first and last) for each employment position. For employment of longer duration (i.e. more than 3 years), please provide payslips from the beginning, middle, and end of each employment position held. Our assessors may ask for further payment evidence.Q10: Is it necessary to provide certificates of professional development and training courses?Certificates for professional development are only necessary if they are crucial to the performance of your employment, such as in regulated occupations where specific licenses or course completion may be required. Otherwise, you do not need to provide evidence of continuing professional development, such as short online courses, conference participation certificates, webinars, seminars, and workshops. However, you may include these in your resume or CV to show your continuing professional development.Q11: If I have held multiple employment positions at the same time, will this be considered by VETASSESS towards meeting the 20-hours-per-week requirement?When applicants hold multiple employment positions simultaneously, we do allow the combined hours from these relevant employment positions to meet the 20-hours-per-week requirement. For instance, if you have been working for two employers at the same time, and the total hours from both employments amount to at least 20 hours per week, we may consider this concurrent employment as meeting the 20 hours per week requirement.List of Required DocumentsAll documents must be high-quality color scans of the original documents.
