Sa visa application po, unless mag-paper based application ka, no need to have documents certified. Just make sure colored yun original documents mo, pwede na po sya just have to scan them for online based application.
Iba usapan naman sa ACS skills assessment, unless original documents ang ipapasa mo, kailangan pa-notaryo. Ang ginawa ko po is photocopy lang ng original documents, then dinala ko sa abogado (notary public), compare lang nila yun original and photocopied document then dry seal na nila yun and stamp ng certified copy of original.

Hindi ko lang po sure sa VETASSESS, ang alam ko lang po kasi is application sa ACS and GSM visa 175/176, yun lang kasi ang mga nakapagresearch ako. Sa ACS though on top of the online application, you also need to send the hard copy of documents to ACS through post or courier. Then sa visa, yun ang online pwede na no need to send the hard copies of documents unless requested to do so by DIAC.

1) About this statement: If your nominated occupation is not on the Specified Trade Occupations list, you must provide evidence that you have been in paid employment in any skilled occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for at least 12 months in the 24 months immediately before applying.
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/175/eligibility-work-experience-study.htm
Kasi ang inapply ko sa ACS was Developer/Programmer (5 yrs) pero my recent job was ICT Business Analyst (2 yrs), then I am currently jobless for a year, qualified by ako?
2) About the fees stated on the website, http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/990i/professionals-outside-australia.htm
Skilled - Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175)
Charge Type Charge Amount
1st instalment $2960
2nd instalment $4110
When will the 2nd instalment be paid?
3) I've been reading about CO? What is it about?

risa is qualified to lodge visa. DIAC's statement is quite ambiguous on the term "any skilled occupation on SOL". Using common sense, "any skilled occupation" pertains to any job in RELEVANCE to nominated occupation.
Example1: if nominated occupation is Developer programmer, and his recent work Occupation is Business Analyst , then no problem with that coz developer programmer is relevant to Business analyst. (both ICT Occupations)
Example2: If nominated occupation is Developer programmer, and his recent work occupation is Statistician (remember that this occupation also included on SOL), then the applicant is not qualified to lodge visa coz both occupations have no relevance with each other.

I took a risk by sending only the basic certificate Employment Letter that the HR provided.
Oh well initiating plan B, I'm creating a more detail JD now and I'll let the HR print with company letter head and sign it. That's 2 HR to deal with (2 SG companies).....

Isama mo ang detalye ng work experience mo kahit 20yrs ka nang nagtatrabaho. Ang ipasa mo lang na COE/Reference letter ay for the last 10 years, kasi yun lang naman talaga ang iki-credit ng DIAC.
Ang punto lang ay dapat i-disclose mo lahat ng information mo sa DIAC. Walang dapat itago.
