Hi, which skill assesment should i got for 1- environmental consultant or 2-environmental manager(offshore) which has higher chances for an invite. My background study is in environmental engineering and having 5 yrs of industry experience in environmental compliances , sustainability, wastewater treatment, energy , customer, audits SOPs making etc. PLease guide

Can we claim one year deducted experience by vetasses, we have claimed it and got invitation on 15 oct 189 round in economist.

@gregormendel for the below FAQ you have outlined documents that are required for claimed work experience:

"What documents are required to prove my claimed work experience for a 491/190/189 visa?"

For a 189 visa application do i need to attach all of the employment evidence sources or is 1 or 2 enough?

Any idea if they’re gonna process Oct ‘26 applications before clearing the Nov ‘25 backlog for 189?

Hi everyone, I have two quick questions regarding Victoria Subclass 491 onshore:

1) When was Contract Administrator last invited for the 491 visa in Victoria?

2) Which occupation is better to go with for a Victorian 491 EOI/ROI as an onshore applicant: Mechanical Engineer or Contract Administrator?

Thanks in advance
