SRG35 Explanatory notes for VETASSESS Advisory Letter
for Points Test purposes (VETASSESS occupations)
Page 1 of 6
For applicants who have received a VETASSESS Skills Assessment and now wish to provide their
higher qualications and/or employment other than already assessed for points test purposes.
Applicants who have a pending VETASSESS Skills Assessment and now require Points Test Advice
should contact VETASSESS before completing this form.
You must read these Explanatory Notes before you complete the application form.
This form is for VETASSESS applicants who have received a Skills
Assessment for a general professional occupation or have a pending
Skills Assessment with VETASSESS for a general professional
occupation, and now wish to apply to VETASSESS for an Advisory
Letter to give to the Department of Home Affairs to support a
claim for points for qualications and/or employment in the General
Skilled Migration Program (GSM) Points Test purposes. These
applicants must nominate the same occupation for Points Test
purposes.
Note: general professional occupations are for managers,
professionals, and associate professionals.
VETASSESS undertakes Skills Assessments for a broad range
of occupations that appear on Australia’s List of Eligible Skilled
Occupations for the:
General Skilled Migration Program (GSM)
– Points based visas
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS)
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa
Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
To nd out more about applying for a Skills Assessment, or to apply
online, visit www.vetassess.com.au.
The assessment will determine the general educational level of your
highest qualication in terms of a qualication level on the Australian
Qualications Framework. An assessment of the relevance of the
major eld of study to the nominated occupation is not required.
In some cases VETASSESS may need to consider two or more
overseas qualications to determine their comparability to the
educational level of a qualication on the Australian Qualications
Framework.
In addition to this, VETASSESS will also determine the date that
an applicant was deemed skilled in their nominated occupation
based on closely related employment within the last ten years.
To be assessed as closely related to your nominated occupation,
employment either needs to be in the nominated occupation or in
an occupation which is in the same Unit Group in the Australian and
New Zealand Standard Classication of Occupations (ANZSCO).
Only employment of at least 20 hours per week, and undertaken
within the ten years preceding your application to VETASSESS will
be assessed. The Department of Home Affairs requires VETASSESS
to list all employment positions assessed. VETASSESS will list
employment assessed positively on your Skills Assessment and all
other employment you have requested to be assessed provided that
it was of at least
20 hours per week and undertaken in the last 10 years. The Advisory
Letter will state whether each employment position was assessed as
closely related to your nominated occupation or not.
Note: For more information about the Points Test, go to the
Department of Home Affairs website at www.homeaffairs.gov.au.
For information about the VETASSESS assessment of qualications
and/or employment for Points Test advice to the Department of
Home Affairs, please read these Explanatory Notes, including the
introduction and Sections 5 and 7.
