CSSD verification through VETASSESS for individuals from China who wish to work in Australia is similar to the process for those within Australia. The Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services or VETASSESS is the organization responsible for assessing the skills and qualifications of individuals who wish to migrate to and work in more than 350 professional or trade occupations in Australia. The assessment process typically involves an evaluation of the individual’s training and experience, as well as practical skills tests to ensure that the individual possesses the necessary hands-on skills to perform the work. This also helps protect the public from unqualified or unskilled workers.

The certifications earned in China are not automatically recognized in Australia. The VETASSESS will evaluate the qualifications and skills of the individual to determine the level of comparability with those essential for employment in Australia. If you are an applicant from China, you will need to deliver your educational and professional credentials, and skills and experience verifications relevant to the occupation you are applying for. Depending on the profession, you may need to take additional assessments such as trade, language, and professional practice tests as well.

The entire process for credentials verification and assessment may take longer for candidates from China unlike for applicants within Australia, as supplementary steps may be required for translating and verifying the qualifications and documents attained in China via CSSD. Any document granted in China must be submitted for verification through the VETASSESS Chinese Qualifications Verification service. Albeit the designated authorities in China (CSSD) have provided you with credential verification reports earlier already, it is mandatory to apply for CSSD reports through VETASSESS once again. As such, it is advised to prepare the documents well in advance as it may take at least 8 weeks to obtain the results after the submission of your documents.
