DIAC Work Experience Calculation for Points Test
hi all,
I have to problem to clarify with aid of your expertise knowledge.
I have post qualifying 5 years of experience which is closely related to
nominated occupation (After Completing Degree).
ACS , they will deduct two years and they'll provide me total of 3 years experience as skilled experience.
1.) My question is DIAC consider this no. of experience provided by ACS for the points test ?
2.) But in Booklet 6, Points Based Skilled Migration (subclasses 189, 190 and 489) visa
(http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/booklets.htm) stated as follows (attached page-21)
There is no any indication about ACS and they totally count the experience based on Reference Letter and evidence which
I provided to them. because of this , even though ACS assessed me only for 3 years , but still I can claim for total 5 years of post qualifying experience . Is that so ?

No you can claim for 3 years and you have had this explained before - http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=821315
There is no any indication about ACS and they only consider about the evidence such as reference letter , pay slips etc. Do I misunderstand it ?

Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately the Department of Immigration has finally gotten around to amending its internal guidelines, the PAMS, to indicate that the ACS skills assessment deeming date will be the date from which they accept employment as skilled.
In Nishi's case he may be fortunate that his ACS skills assessment does not mention a deeming date, however I would advise extreme caution as the wording of the new DIBP instruction does apparently give case officers the discretion to apply a deeming date if the assessing body has a relevant statement in the public domain:
For employment to be awarded points under Schedule 6D, it must meet three requirements:
• it was undertaken after the applicant meets at least the entry level requirements as set by the relevant assessing authority for that occupation (that is, completed a sufficient level of study and or amount of on-the-job training);
• it involved duties at the level of depth and complexity expected in Australia, and
• it meets the standards of skilled employment set by the relevant assessing authority for that occupation.
In cases where the relevant assessing authority does not provide an opinion on skilled employment and there are no standards set by the relevant assessing authority available in public domain, case officers should consider the evidence of employment experience provided by the applicant at the date the applicant completes qualifications and necessary skilled employment as per the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations.
Cheers,
George Lombard
