COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between professional and technical assessments in VETASSESS?
VETASSESS divides occupations into professional groups (which require degree-level qualifications) and technical groups (which accept diploma or trade-level qualifications). The documentation requirements and assessment criteria differ between the two groups.
I have years of experience but a lower-level qualification. Can I still get a positive assessment?
In some cases, yes. VETASSESS can assess applicants whose qualifications are below the standard requirement if they have significant relevant work experience to compensate. This is assessed case by case. Career Launchers evaluates your specific profile and advises on your prospects before you invest in the application.
How long does a VETASSESS assessment take to process?
For professional groups, VETASSESS currently processes within approximately 8 to 12 weeks from receipt of a complete application. Incomplete applications are returned and restart the processing clock.
Can I appeal a negative VETASSESS outcome?
Yes. VETASSESS has a formal review process. You can request a reassessment by providing additional documentation or highlighting specific errors in the assessment. Career Launchers reviews negative outcomes and advises on the strongest grounds for a reassessment application.
What documents do I need from overseas employers?
You will need a reference letter on the employer’s official letterhead, signed by a person of authority, confirming your job title, employment dates, and key duties and responsibilities. Career Launchers provides reference letter templates and reviews each letter before it is submitted.
