From July 31 2023, there will be some exciting changes to the Priority Processing service for VETASSESS Skills assessment for general occupations. These changes will prioritize applicants with urgent needs, while still providing opportunities for other applicants. Read on to understand the new Priority Processing system and how it may impact your visa application journey.

What is Changing with Priority Processing?

From 31 July 2023, the Priority Processing service for VETASSESS skills assessments will be refined to cater to applicants with urgent needs. Under the new system, applicants with evidence of urgent requirements will receive priority. This means that if you find yourself in a situation requiring immediate attention, your application will be given special consideration.

How Does the New Priority Processing System Work?

Applicants without an urgent need can still opt for Priority Processing. However, 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. This means that while urgent cases will be addressed first, there is still a chance for other applicants to secure priority status if spaces are available.

Urgent Reasons for Applying for Priority Processing

You may be wondering what constitutes an “urgent need” for Priority Processing. Here are some key scenarios that would qualify an applicant for priority status:

Received an Invitation with an Expiry Date: If you have received an invitation from the Department of Home Affairs or an Australian state or territory government, which has an expiry date, you may apply for Priority Processing to ensure your application is promptly assessed.

Visa Expiry within Eight Weeks with No Other Visa Options: If your current visa is set to expire within eight weeks, and you are unable to obtain another visa, you qualify for Priority Processing to prevent any disruptions to your stay in Australia.

Age Milestones: Applicants turning 33, 40, or 45 within eight weeks can apply for Priority Processing to secure their visa before reaching these age milestones.

Expiring English Test Results or Partner Skills Assessment: If your English test result (IELTS or PTE), or Partner Skills Assessment result is expiring within eight weeks, you can apply for Priority Processing to fast-track your application.
