VETASSESS offshore assessments cancelled

 
 
Dear agent
 
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.
We thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult time and will provide updates as soon as we can.
Please contact us on +61 3 9655 4801 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  if you have any concerns.
