Photographer (ANZSCO 211311) is assessed by VETASSESS. Assessment looks at qualifications and relevant employment against defined criteria (VETASSESS Group C).
There are 3 recognised paths, for example: Diploma+ (relevant) + 1 yr; Diploma+ (non-relevant) + Cert IV+ (relevant) + 1 yr; Diploma+ (non-relevant) + 2 yr. The right path depends on the field of study and length of relevant work.
No. A skills assessment confirms the occupation criteria are met; a visa also depends on points, nomination and Department of Home Affairs decisions. This page consolidates the official lists so applicants can see the requirements — it does not assess eligibility.
