Changes to VETASSESS Skills Assessment Priority Processing

From July 31, 2023, Vetassess' Priority Processing service will change so that applicants with evidence of urgent need will receive priority when places are allocated.  Applicants without an urgent need can still apply for Priority Processing. 

Once places are allocated to those with an urgent need, any remaining slots will be offered to other applicants in the queue on a first-come-first-served basis.  Urgent reasons for an applicant to apply for Priority Processing are: 

• They have received an invitation from the Department of Home Affairs or an Australian state or territory government, which has an expiry date   
• Their visa expires within eight weeks and they are unable to obtain another visa 
• They are turning 33, 40 or 45 within eight weeks 
• Their English test result (IELTS or PTE) expires within eight weeks 
• Their Partner Skills Assessment or English test result expires within eight weeks.
