News Update on Professional Occupation Skills Assessment

Australian migration has two very major components: the requirement of a minimum of 65 points or above and a positive skills assessment. Since some occupations require you to have official certifications, a skills assessment becomes imperative for sailing through the Australian skilled immigration process.

VETASSESS is one such Australian skills assessment wherein your educational qualifications and employment are evaluated against your nominated occupation’s suitability or the recently updated skilled occupation list Australia. This evaluation comprises assessing the comparability on the Qualifications Framework (AQF) and determining whether your educational qualifications have any relation with your nominated occupation.

Recently there has been an upgrade in the fees structure of this on Professional Occupation Skills Assessment. Since 2017 the prices have been updated from 1st February 2021:
