y not Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi All Just found out about the points being raised to 65, so now we are short by 5. So only just started looking to see if i could claim some for being an ex bricklayer. I have not been on site for over 10 years but have 13 yrs experience. (been doing building maintenance for the past 12 yrs) just need an extra 5 points to add to the wife 60 points. So does anyone know if this is possible, I'm not going for a bricklaying job in oz so don't need a skills assessment just need to get the points if possible. Thanks for any help on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) I think you're misunderstanding the skills assessment. It has nothing to do with getting licensed to work in Australia. It's so Immigration can be satisfied you are appropriately qualified and experienced. Edited June 30, 2018 by Marisawright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y not Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just want to get points for my bricklaying qualifications not after working as a bricklayer in Au. Just found Migration skills assessment which is paper based and just checks your qualifications. Its not clear cut so just wondering if anyone else has used it to get some points?

I think you can claim points for a partner qualification, but I think the skill you are claiming must be on the same list as the primary applicant and you must be able to pass the skill assessment for that occupation your history in the occupation of bricklayer seems a bit sketchy would suggest you contact a reputable migration agent to see if it’s possible good luck I know there are many who will fall short with the new rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 The occupation must be on the same list yes, and you must have 'currency' in the occupation being applied for. e.g. if applying via Vetassess then 4 years full time *paid* experience in the occupation, including 6 months in past three years, or with ACTS, then 3 years experience, including 1 year in last 3.

Make the life you have fabulous and try not to get dragged down by “ what ifs”. Life might just as easily been crap in Australia. Take care.
