They Lodged Just Before the Year’s End — and Their PR Journeys Are “Bearing Fruit” Step by Step! A Showcase of VET & Engineering Skills-Assessment Success Stories, Plus 189/491 Grants and Approved NSW and Other State Nominations!

Another week of invitations, grants and skills-assessment approvals

Success stories

so many we need to showcase them all in one week


VETASSESS skills assessment

After the major surge in Subclass 189 invitations last December, many people began preparing their VETASSESS skills assessment, and by the start of this year a wave of applications has begun to bear fruit.


Fields such as financial investment adviser, marketing specialist, graphic designer, actuary, project manager and event organiser and other VET-assessed occupations have recently received plenty of low-points invitations from NSW, Victoria and other state-nomination programmes!


Many applicants, especially those applying offshore, completed their skills assessment and achieved IELTS 6 across all four bands, then received an invitation soon after lodging their state-nomination application!


There are still three months left in the 2022–23 financial year and most state-nomination programmes still have places available — act quickly now and you may still catch this financial year’s favourable winds!

Engineering / construction skills assessment

Engineering and construction have also been highly favoured this financial year. Civil engineering, engineering technologist (ET), electrical engineering and more, plus architect, landscape architect and architectural draftsperson and others.

Every state-nomination programme is issuing invitations steadily, and the points required are dropping step by step!
