1. Applicants who hold an Australian VET qualification will need to demonstrate at least 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) paid employment in their nominated occupation. The employment must have been completed in Australia in the three years prior to lodging the application.
2. Applicants with a current identified Australian occupational licence (not subject to restrictions) must demonstrate 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) paid employment in the nominated occupation that has been completed in Australia or New Zealand in the three years prior to lodging the application.
