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.
Specialisations within this nec classification include (but are not limited to):
- Dance Therapist
- Drama Therapist
- Hypnotherapist
- Music Therapist and
- Play Therapist.
Applicants should provide a cover letter that justifies the rationale for choosing an nec category.
