Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
I contacted EA via email and they mentioned that the new MSA booklet will be available "early this week".
Regarding your point of assessment becoming harder, I think that current CDR based system is hard enough and I wonder what else they can demand from us.
Lets wait for new booklet to know the details.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
Yes, the new MSA booklet (July 2011 Edition) is now available at EA website. I see no major change in CDR based method, the only addition is the assessment of skilled employment for DIAC at an extra cost of AUD 150.

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
then why is this mentioned on page 26 in section D..
"2. Applicability of additional services

Re: CDR for Engineers Australia
This is an additional service, offered be EA, that may or may not be needed. It is also separate from the skills assessment itself. It says at the beginning of the section that DIAC *may* request an opinion, but they don't have to. Yes, it would be less risky for you to apply for assessment and for this optional opinion at the same time, after you have completed your 3 years, this way you could pretty much bank on the extra points in the visa application, but you don't have to have it upfront, and DIAC may not even request it. These rules are quite new and there is not enough info available publicly to opine on, so keep us updated on how you go about it.

other posts vary...
there have been other posts with official links stating the same 5 yrs to be 12 months ie. you must apply to DIAC within 1 yr of your outcome letter from EA, but the EA website says 5 yrs according to their general understanding (not necessarily understanding with DIAC)

CDR for EA assessment review
I am almost done with my CDR but not feeling confident regarding the occupation ill be applying for. My intended occupation is mechanical engineering but i have been working in upstream oil and gas sector. so my career episodes include alot of drilling terminologies..
Can anyone over here give each episode a review. it would ideally be a person assessed positively by EA, has done mechanical engineering and working in upstream oil sector...any mechanical engineer who has been assessed positively by EA is also welcomed.
PM me ur id, ill send u the episodes in couple of days..
