Veterinary Nurse (ANZSCO 361311) is assessed by VETASSESS. Assessment looks at qualifications and relevant employment against defined criteria (VETASSESS Group D).
There are 3 recognised paths, for example: Cert IV+ (relevant) + 1 yr; Cert IV+ (non-relevant) + 2 yr; Cert III+ (relevant) + 3 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.
