Notorised docs necessary?

[JenWarr]

Hello, I'm doing a skills assessment as a Marketing Consultant so that my skills can add points to my partners 189/190 application.

I wanted to ask if it's necessary for me to have the copies certified by a JP/similar or not? I'm collecting a huge amount of evidence; my degree, uni transcripts, letters from each of my employers, payslips, self employment evidence (contracts, letters from clients, self assessment tax returns). Now should I get them notorised like my partner did? 

Also, I know this seems silly, can they notorise print outs? I have some originals, like certificates, but quite a lot of my evidence has been downloaded from places, prev employers have signed and scanned letters back to me, etc... Are scanned docs acceptable?

 

Thanks

Have you confirmed the availability of the occupation you propose to nominate?

Yes, it's to add 5 extra points to my partner's visa which is in EOI queue at the moment.

I refer to my previous post.

IIRC, to get points for partner's skills, your partner's occupation needs to be on the same skilled occupation list as the main applicants. I.e. if your occupation is on the short-term skilled list, partner needs to be on short-term list; if your occupation is on medium-long term list, theirs needs to be on that list.  I can see Sales and Marketing Manager and Marketing Specialist are on the short-term list/190 eligible visas.  'Marketing Consultant' was not on either list so you may want to frame your skills assessment to fit in with either of those occupations https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00850
