roxy Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Does anyone know the difference between TRA and Vetassess? Why choose one over the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 some occupations can only be assessed by one or the other, no choice. If you have a choice then look into the application and cost for each one and see which is easier/cheaper/quicker turnaround. TRA is pretty quick at the moment around a 4 week wait once they receive the applcation and the cost is $1000 for the migration skills assessment, cant help with vetassess though.

roxy Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Excellent thanks!! We've already lodged with Vetassess.. then were told we need to fly from Perth to Melb to do the assessment- pain in the ass. Then I was told TRA do plumbers here in Perth so not a happy bunny... but we've paid already so can't change now!! I just have no idea why our agent wouldn't have known that.. so wonder if there was perhaps another reason!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 your agent probably thought vetassess was easier to fill out from their point of view so that's why they chose them, albeit more of a pain for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest10912 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I must admit I did not think there was any choice in this. I thought DIAC determined who the assessing body should be for most occupations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxy Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Perhaps they do?? I just never knew that... Would be nice to have it cleared up tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
