Hi

Has anyone got any expreience of applying for either of these two
categories.  I need to find out  more details about the requiremenets
(other than the short notes on the Immigration website) as I am unsure
which one to apply under, my agent is also unsure and Vetassess won't
give me more info until I apply!

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

The requirements listed are what DIMIA will look at to ensure the work
experience is 'skilled'.

However Vetassess won't look at that at all.  For a 50 point occupation
they'll just look to see if you have a degree equivalent to an
Australian bachelors, in any subject.

The applicant must meet both Vetassess and DIMIA requirements.

DIMIA has the power to change ones nominated occupation in circumstances
where an applicant only has experience in a registerable occupation and
has not nominated that occupation in the application.

Thus a Doctor who has only worked as a medical preactitioner, may be
forced to get assessed as a medical practitioner whereas a Doctor who
also has experience as say a medical administrator, would be OK to
nominate any VETASSESS ocupation.
