Hello! Not sure kung bakit nawala yung link ng Explanatory Notes sa Vetassess now (or di ko lang makita), but here is the guide I used when I was completing the form:
https://www.vetassess.com.au/portals/0/downloads/qualification_assessment/srg1 explanatory notes.pdf?id=31082&id=31082
I remember di ko rin mahanap agad san ilalagay yung CV. If wala sa Employment, check mo sa Identity Documents?

Thank you po. I will check again. Grabe pala dami dapat i fill up na information like yung OJT & Thesis dates an details. Pano kung di mo na matandaan yung exact dates, okay lang kaya kahit around that period lng ilagay ko?

yung sa CV pala, okay lang same nung job description na nakalagay sa
statement of service from the employer or dapat own words ko ung ilalagay ko?
Thankyou ng marami..

Hi! If vetassess gave me a skills assessment of positive with years of experience at 5.5 years, and i will create an EOI after 6months, can I put 6 years in the years of experience? Thanks po sa sasagot.

If you remained with your current employer, usually no problem. It will auto compute if you opt not to put end-date on your current employer when lodging the EOI. Anyway there is really no difference between 5.5 and 6 years as it's equivalent to same points, so same EOI pa rin ang ending. You will need to pass the 8th year mark para mag matter sa EOI.

Hello po,
Tanong ko lang po kung ano ba dapat occupation ang ipa-assess kapag ang work ay Formwork Draftsperson/Designer para malaki ang chance to get positive result? I already tried Architectural draftsperson and Civil draftsperson pero same negative result ang nakuha ko.

Depends on the State, but we have to wait since the occupation lists are being updated ahead of the DHA State budget allocation.

Hi! Meron ba ditong nagpaassess twice or more sa Vetassess with different occupations? Ask ko lang if same pa rin ba yung processing time o mas mabilis.
Nabasa ko kase hindi eligible for priority processing pag nagpaassess na before.
Thank you sa sasagot.

Question lang po. Based po pala kami dti sa SG, ung statutory declaration po ba necessary ba na previous boss or colleague ang pipirma pag ipapanotaryo. Ndi po ba pwedeng self declaration nalang ung kmi nalang pipirma tapos papanotarize isasama nalang namin other docs as proof like contract and payslip? Nahihirapan po kasi kami makakuha ng pipirma from previous company at sa present company naman ayaw sana namin ipaalam na magpapa assess kami, tapos need pa nila sumama sa notary lalo ngeon covid season. Sana my makasagot kung my nakagawa na neto at tinanggap ba ng vetassess. Thanks

Hello ask ko lang po san nyo po nakikita yang mga info like waiting ngeon sa opening ng visa 190? Thank you

Statutory Declaration or Affidavit, does not necessarily need previous manager's or colleague's signature, but it MUST be notarized, and Vetassess explicitly stated that it cannot stand alone which means you definitely need supporting documents to support the claims you will put in your StatDec. This is what I did before with positive result.
You will still need to declare the contact information of the said company so I don't know how you can keep this as a "secret" from your previous employer in case Vetassess chose to contact them. The somewhat good news is, Vetassess don't always do this - but it's better to expect this.

Update lang ako, I just got the result from Vetassess today (for Management Consultant). Though mabilis talaga ngayon yung processing, sadly negative.
I was hoping positive kase I got my certified management consultant status last year from ICMC PH, which is said to be globally recognized including CMC Australia. Same lang rin yung sinubmit kong requirements job responsibilities, etc etc even mga clients reference letters. Ayun negative. Sad day. I thought may way nako for 189 path.
Looks like 491 na lang pag asa ko. Sana maging favorable ang Oct 6 satin lahat.

Hi! If in case VETASSESS tagged your documents as insufficient and requested an additional document and you were not able to provide it as the previous company do not want to give out that document, what would happen to your application? or any suggested course of action? thanks!

Hi Everyone! Ask ko lang what if mag pass ako uli but with a different occupation than previous one, does that mean na bayad ako uli and wait for 12 weeks?

Thanks in advance for the reply!
