Thanks to everyone who replied to our last message, ie info required. We have decided to
apply using my nursing as it gains more points, we have 120 points. We are unsure whether
to have my husbands skills assessed(motor vehicle technician), it will gain us another 5
points but is it worth it? Will he be able to get a job if we are successful without a
skills assessment? if it wont make any difference it seems a bit pointless going through a
skills assessment for him. Also in my application for the Australian Nursing Council it
states it must be witnessed by a judge, magistrate or notary public. What is a notary
public? I dont think I know anyone in these categories has anyone experienced this problem
and how did you overcome it? Do I need to ring a few lawyers to see if they will oblige?
Thanks in advance for any help. Andrea & Steven

Hi again Andrea & Steve,
We have gone about the other way round, Sibs is a beauty therapist and I am a mechanic.
soon after our arrival we will approaching Glenn Newton to have both of our qualifications
turned in to the Australian equivalents if possible.
As for the extra 5 points if you are sure that you will be able to obtain the 120 it's not
really worth Steve going through the assessment process. he can always do it once he is
there at probably half the cost.
As to public notary any solicitor should do, they are normally a commissioner for oaths
which is another mentioned somewhere on the forms.
Failing this a policeman has been used before I seem to remember.
There are probably a few others, we used our solicitor for ours.
best of luck
Mark & Sibs

Hi Andrea & Steven,
We had a similar scenario when we applied, we had 115 points as an independant but could
have been sponsored by my aunt, this would have given us another 15 making a total of
130 points.
After some enquiries we found out that once you make the pass mark your application is
processed exactly the same, it makes no difference having 120 or 125 as in your case. You
application will be treated the same. I personally would save the time and money and
submit your application on your skills.
I don't think a skills assessment for your husband will affect him in finding work either.
Hope this helps.

Hi Andrea
If you are rock solid about the 120 points the extra 5 make any difference.
A pre-migration skills assessment of your husband as a Motor Mech would only be for
migration and further assessment after you arrive would be needed if he wanted an
Australian qualification.
Does he need an Australian qualification to work here in his trade? The answer is "yes"
and "no". For most trades, a qualification is not a legal requirement to practise in the
trade. And not all employers will have a preference. BUT, it depends on the state of the
labour market and the preferences of individual employers. There is a growing emphasis on
quality assurance and employing qualified staff is part of the QA process.
In some trades, there are legal requirements for licensing or registration, and a
qualification is a prerequisite for that. Motor Mechanics are required to be registered in
New South Wales, and also soon in Western Australia.
As Mark said (bless his cotton socks), we can do an assessment of your husband after you
arrive (wherever that might be) and, if he meets the grade, issue him with a contemporary
national trade qualification.

Whoops. The end of the first sentence should read...
"the extra 5 DON'T make any difference"
