Why renew your VETASSESS early?
Each state/territory has its own criteria and sometimes tight deadlines. Renewing ahead of time can save you from missing out! You can add any new qualifications or job roles that weren't included in your previous assessment which may result in claiming higher points for qualifications and/or work experience.
What does the renewal process involve?
The VETASSESS renewal process involves a reassessment of your original skills assessment, plus any new qualifications or employment. You may extend the validity of your skills assessment, with or without additional qualifications or work experience. Your skills must meet the current criteria for your occupation.
