      work experience for 175 visa

      Hi there

      can anyone confirm the correct work experience requirments for the skilled visa
      I have been informed that 12months in 48 is the new legislation from Sept 2007
      Is this correct and does it have to be a consecutive 12 months?

      Thank you
      Diane :)

      Hi Diane


      For GSM visas, Threshold and Points related experience needs to be:
      1 Skilled
      2 paid employment
      3 be for 20 hours per week or more

      Threshold Experience requirement is 12 months in previous 24 months in ANY occupation on the SOL

      Specific work experience must be, if nominated occupation is 60 points, in the nominated occupation, or closely related occupation - for the award of 10 points OR in any skilled occupation on SOL for 5 points. All 40 and 50 points nominated occupations score 05 points maximum for 3 years in the last 4.

      MODL points require evidence of 12 months experience in previous 48 months in MODL occupation or closely related occupation.

      There is talk that DIAC may have tightened up their policy and require experience periods to be in a single skilled occupation, or be at least in the same "field".

      Thus a Motor Mechanic approved by TRA who has always worked as a motor mechanic except for the last 2 years, where the occupation was Trades Teacher, will be OK for Threshold, OK for MODL but may score no points for Specific Work Experience as the experience is in two different fields over the last 4 years. We are still awaiting specific policy detail on this question from DIAC.

      Regards
