How we assess your employment experience

We use the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) to compare your employment experience with those expected in your Nominated Occupation.

We may, at our discretion, use other publicly available sources to verify that your duties and tasks align with Australian standards.

Providing a document or other evidence does not guarantee that your employment can be verified.

If we cannot verify your employment claims, we may contact you to provide further evidence or additional verification from your employer(s).
