Requirements for Skills Assessment
This occupation requires a qualification assessed as comparable to the education level of an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Bachelor Degree or higher degree and in a field highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
In addition to the above, it is essential for applicants to meet the following employment criteria:
- at least one year of post-qualification employment at an appropriate skill level,
- undertaken in the last five years,
- working 20 hours or more per week, and
- highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
Please note in order to achieve a successful Skills Assessment Outcome, a positive assessment for both qualifications and employment is required.
Professions currently listed under the ANZSCO Unit Group 2519 for other Health Diagnostic and Promotion Professionals include 251911 Health Promotion Officer and 251912 Orthotist or Prosthetist. This occupation group covers Health Diagnostic and Promotion Professionals not elsewhere classified (ANZSCO). For employment that is similar in nature or expertise to other occupations listed within a Unit Group, but not elsewhere classified in ANZSCO, applicants can consider an nec classification. For nec occupations, VETASSESS conducts a case-by-case assessment to determine whether the employment can be considered highly relevant to the classification. However, if an applicant’s employment is highly relevant to another ANZSCO occupation, the same period of employment cannot be assessed suitably against an nec classification, regardless of whether the occupation is available for migration purposes or not.
Employment within this nec classification includes (but is not limited to): Genetic Counsellor.
Applicants should provide a cover letter that justifies the rationale for choosing an nec category.
Not Elsewhere Classified (nec)
Some occupations assessed by VETASSESS are listed as ‘nec’ which means ‘not elsewhere classified’. If you are nominating one of these occupations, you must ensure that your qualifications and employment are highly relevant to one of the occupation titles given in the ANZSCO description for the particular occupation.
