Finally got a positive assessment for both employment and education last week.

I spoke to my case officer this week, I was advised on what to do, which I have already done. Just applied for a review today. Looking forward to a better outcome this time around. I was told it would take between 10-12 weeks.

Yeah i think so, if you go ont the skill select website, you would notice that there is a low pr grant for OHS stream, less than 10 percent at this moment for the full year cycle.one would wonder if OHS lacks applicants or they dont actually get positive vetassess assessment.

The reason was, that my educational qualification was not highly relevant; they discredited my NEBOSH cert. According to the report, my NEBOSH cert was not recognized by NEBOSH UK. For me, this showed that it was wrongly verified as i called NEBOSH and they were surprised. Only my MSc degree was assessed leaving out my BSc and other OHS certificates Regarding work experience: My work experience was not highly relevant to the ANZ code; this part was a little bit confused to me as my skills and job roles provided on my cv and reference letters from my employers matched the codes requirement, also they contacted my employers, with a different email from the one i provided on the reference letter; however my employers also replied their query. So i am surprised at the decision they took. The code on their website, states that if your education is not in ohs, they would consider other OHS trainings and certificate obtained on the job for a closely related degree on a case by case basis. I am surprised as how both a Microbiology degree, NEBOSH cert and 4 other OHS certificates including first aid training certificate and OHS work experience would not be considered. I would send a polite email to them by next week, because i think i was not fairly assessed.

I just got a negative outcome; but I believe my case officer was very biased in his judgement. I would have to take this up with a migration lawyer soon.

Hi Guys, Iam a little bit confused on how this forum works, I just joined and I have aquestion to ask regarding Vettassess assessment for Occupational health andsafety advisor role. I have a BSc In biology and an MSc in environmentalmanagement, over 5 years experience in OHS (3 years after my BSc and the restafter my MSc in 2010). I also hold a NEBOSH certificate in OHS from England, Iam confused if Vettassess would assess me positive. my question is would vetassess consider my Nebosh certificate since I have a Masters degree in environmental management? Also, would my OHS experience before getting a masters degree and Nebosh certificate be considered? Can someone who has passedthrough vetassess OHS assessment throw more light on this for me. Cheers.
