Late last year, the189Subclass 189 kicked off a fierce competition for skilled migrants, issuing35,000invitations in a single round — with hundreds of occupations65 pointsqualifying for invitations, whether applicants are onshore or offshore. Read the full story here:After years of high score thresholds, Australia’s skilled migration finally hits 65 points! If you’re overseas, now is the time to prepare and seize the opportunity!

Sitting on large invitation quotas,state governmentsgrew anxious about unused quotas and losing applicants to other streams:

NSWscrapped points and work experience requirements entirely, issuing a large round of invitations to kick off 2023

VICkept its trademark flood of invitations coming

QLDjust announced priority processing for applications

WAslashed score thresholds to widen the invitation pool

TAShas been issuing frequent pre-invitations since rolling out its new system

Canberra (ACT)has been steadily dropping its score requirements

SAhas been steadily releasing Subclass 491 and 190 invitations

NT‘s MINT programme has never let applicants down

From considering your options to assessing your pathway to taking action,the sooner the better！

But many applicants are finding themselves held up by theskills assessment process！？

A skills assessment is a mandatory requirement for Australia’s points-based skilled migration — regardless of which pathway you pursue or whether you are onshore or offshore, it is always the first step.

However, a surge of applications at the end of 2022, combined with holiday closures, has slowed processing times across most assessing bodies. Asthe authority that assesses the widest range of occupations,VETASSESSVETASSESS has further tightened the situation by capping daily expedited application lodgements — previously 25 per day, increased to 30 from 23 January — making spots even harder to secure…

VETASSESS expedited assessment is completed in 10 business days

Without the expedited option,standard processingtakes at least3–4 months

In the current invitation climate, a wait of 3–4 months could meanmissing out onmultiple state nomination rounds — each offering thousands of invitations

Recent VETASSESS Skills Assessment Success Stories — Newstars

★

Skills assessment is not simply a matter of having a job and a qualification and lodging an application. There are severalcommon pitfalls for DIY applicants — and we’re covering them all here.

1. Choosing the Wrong Occupation

VETASSESS defines and classifies occupations in very fine detail. Occupations within the same category may appear similar on the surface,but even a small difference in duties can place them in entirely separate occupation categories. This is especially true for versatile, generalist roles. There are alsooccupations whose scope and definition differ significantly from what applicants commonly assume — these warrant particular care. We frequently receive enquiries from applicants who have identified several VETASSESS occupations that seem similar to their role and are unsure which best fits. Marketing specialist is one of the most common occupations where people go wrong.

Some common occupationsare defined quite differently in China versus Australia。

2. Failing to Consider Whether Your Role Fits Your Employer

VETASSESS will considerwhat industry or type of company this occupation is typically found in. This assessment takes into accountthe size of the company, its organisational structure, and the industry it operates in.

Gathering thorough supporting evidence to demonstrate that the role genuinely exists is therefore essential.

3. Failing to Prepare for the Phone Interview

Not every application or every occupation will trigger a phone interview,but certain “high-risk” occupations are almost always subjected to one. The interview may involve both the applicant and the employer — so thorough preparation is essential for everyone involved.How well the phone interview goes will largely determine the outcome of your skills assessment.

4. The Complex Rules Around Work Experience and Deductions

Most occupations requirepost-qualificationrelevant work experience, and depending on your occupation and qualification level,VETASSESS applies different experience deductions. Work experience must also be recent — typically within the last 5 years. This brings in further questions aboutwhich types of work experience are eligible for skills assessment, which in turn depends onhow “highly relevant” work experience is definedand how salary levels factor in.

This is the single most critical step in Australian skilled migration — approach it carefully. Wasting time and money is one thing, but missing a once-in-a-generation opportunity is what really matters.If you need professional assistance with your skills assessment, contact our team below!
