Please be advised that, in line with Commonwealth Government guidelines around the coronavirus (COVID-19), VETASSESS has decided to cancel all offshore assessments effective immediately. Assessments for professional occupations are not affected by this, but it will affect these planned offshore assessments for trades:
South Africa (27th March to 5th April, 2020) – Electrical, Air Conditioning Refrigeration Mechanic and Plumbing (General).
Philippines (27 April - 1 May, 2020) - Automotive and Engineering Trades, Mechanical Engineering.
United Kingdom (13 - 14 May, 2020) - Electrician (General), Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic.
India (19 - 22 May, 2020) Electrician (General).
We have advised Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) and we will contact the affected applicants who were planning to attend a VETASSESS offshore assessment venue immediately. We will continue to conduct technical Interviews for applicants via online facilities (Adobe Connect). We continue to monitor the situation regarding COVID-19 and will advise TRA when offshore assessments can resume.
