Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services
A wide range of professional and general (non-trade) occupations, plus many trades. A positive VETASSESS assessment is a key step to becoming sponsorship-ready for a 482, 186 or 494 visa.
Assesses whether your qualifications and employment are at the level and in the field required for your nominated ANZSCO occupation. General and professional occupations use the standard route; skilled trades use a Technical Interview / practical route.
Full Skills Assessment; Skills Assessment for Points Test; Priority Processing for faster turnaround.
Typical timeframe: Typically around 10–12 weeks (Priority Processing is faster).
Indicative cost: from ~A$1,000 (varies by occupation) (confirm current fees with VETASSESS).
