Facilities Management in Australia - Assessment, Visa application, jobs and others

markanthonyfrial

Hi guys, I am creating this topic for those in the facilities management profession who are planning on migrating into Australia.

Feel free to comment.

According to VETASSESS, the assessing authority for Facilities Managers in Australia, before deciding on what occupation you should have yourself assessed with is to take a look at the job description based on ANZSCO against your own - review your previous and current job descriptions, which you can acquire from your previous and current employers. This way you have the best possible match to your job and the occupation to be assessed and get close to a positive assessment result.

Own it if you have it. Cheers!

@markanthonyfrial I'm interested in this thread. I'm also a property/facilities manager who is planning to migrate in Au. Though, I applied under Mechanical Engineer so my assessing authrority is EA.

@OZwaldCobblepot I think it's just fine as long as you know that your job descriptions are strongly or closely related to the ANZSCO description of the occupation you are having assessed with EA. I'm an electrical engineer but have been working as a facilities manager ever since so I went to VETASSESS to have my skills assessed as an FM, on the otherhand, you being a mechanical engineer can be assessed as an FM through VETASSESS or a Mechanincal Engineer through EA.

Given your background and experience, it won't be hard to get a positive outcome.

Keep in touch!

Hi @mxv588t! Sa NSW ka po naglodge? Pwede pala? Or may special conditions po? Kasi I thought sa SA lang or NT?

mxv588t

@scruz yes! Under stream 2. Kasi by the time na nakuha ko yung assessment ko biglang nagbago ang SA at ginawang special conditions apply. Nagbaka sakali lang kami ng agent ko, e buti nabigyan ng ITA
