[QUOTE= Go to dimia website. TRA are no longer needing deeming dates,meaning you just need to be qualified now with no work experiance,as i understand it!

I would be very, very surprised. That would just open the floodgates and let almost anyone in. Qualifications and experience are two very different things. I'm pretty sure that you still need to have worked for so many years in the trade that you are applying under.

Basic Requirements for General Skilled Migration


Qualifications
You must have post-secondary (such as university or trade) qualifications (in a small number of occupations, substantial relevant work experience may be acceptable).

Your skills must have been assessed by the relevant assessing authority as suitable for your nominated occupation.

Nominated occupation
When you apply, you must nominate an occupation which fits your skills and qualifications. Your nominated occupation must be on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL)
See: Form 1121i (PDF file, 125kb) Skilled Occupations List.

If your nominated occupation is 'Medical Practitioner',
See: Migration of Medical Practitioners under the General Skilled Migration Program

If your nominated occupation is not on the SOL, you cannot apply.

Recent work experience
This requirement is separate from the need to have your skills assessed as suitable for your nominated occupation before you apply.

If your nominated occupation is worth 60 points (see the points for your nominated occupation on the SOL), you must have been in paid employment in a skilled occupation (any on the SOL) for at least 12 of the 18 months immediately before applying.

If your nominated occupation is worth 40 or 50 points, you must have been in paid employment in a skilled occupation (any on the SOL) for at least 2 of the 3 years immediately before applying.

For certain occupations, a longer period of specific work experience is required to obtain a suitable skills assessment (for example, manager).

In the Skill Matching or Skilled-Designated Area Sponsored categories, you may be eligible with less work experience.



TRA Deeming Dates

TRA Deeming Dates
A deeming date is the date on which a person is regarded as having obtained the skills necessary to receive a satisfactory skills assessment for a particular occupation.

TRA are no longer providing deeming dates on skills assessments. TRA will only determine if a person has satisfactory skills for the occupation they nominate, rather than the point in time that this occurred.

Where a skills assessment is provided without a deeming date, the department will continue to process General Skilled Migration applications according to legislative requirements. Therefore, to be granted a visa, applicants must provide a satisfactory skills assessment and, unless they satisfy the 2 years study in Australia requirement, they must also provide evidence of their recent work experience in a skilled occupation.

Also, where an applicant claims additional points for specific work experience, they must provide evidence of this work experience.

To satisfy the recent work experience and the specific work experience requirements, evidence of this employment is required. The evidence should include:

the applicant’s name;
dates of service;
occupation;
duties performed;
hours worked; and
the salary received paid for work.
Applicants my need to provide more than one piece of evidence to demonstrate that they satisfy the recent work experience and specific work experience requirements. For example, if an applicant provides a statement of service which does not show the duties and tasks undertaken in the work, they will need to provide other documentation which includes the relevant duties and tasks, such as a contract of employment.

Acceptable evidence that the work was paid employment in a skilled occupation includes:

registration/membership certificates of a professional body in a skilled occupation;
tax return documentation listing employer and applicant’s occupation;
contract of employment, showing the length of employment and the duties the duties the employee was required to perform;
payslips from an employer;
membership of a trade union for a skilled occupation, identifying the applicant’s skilled occupation;
superannuation statement, listing employer’s details;
legal documentation indicating the applicant has operated a business in a skilled occupation;
statements of service indicating the dates an employee was employed;
qualifications showing the date the qualification was completed; and
all documentation provided to the assessing body.
Please note:

documentation must be dated so that a decision maker can determine if an applicant satisfies the recent work experience and/or, specific work experience requirements;
where work references are provided, the referee must sign the reference, clearly print their name, provide their position and relationship to the applicant and give contact details to enable decision makers to verify the work reference; and
if copies of the above documentation are provided they must be certified copies.

TRA used to issue a "Deeming Date" with every assesment, this was the date that TRA "Deemed" you to be qualified, if you are an old fart like me it was nothing to worry about as I would have been "Deemed" to be qualified in the 1980's, and provided I stayed working in that trade up till the date of application, DIMIA issued points for recent work experiance.

The problem comes when you are a lot younger and have only just qualified, if TRA issued you a "Deeming Date" back dated to the date of your initial TRA application, you would then have to work another 12 months or so before you qualified for the additional points from DIMIA.

TRA has now done away with "Deeming Dates", but if you want to claim the additional points from DIMIA you still need to prove to DIMIA you have recent work experiance.

I trust you all understand this.
