Definitely contact an agent because it can make all the difference. If you do a search you will see how many have failed first time and have passed the second time, and are living their new lives in Australia.
It is hard for you now but with the right advice and guidance, hopefully you will sail through it the second time and this will be a distant memory.
Don't give up, get your advice and take it from there. It is a setback for you and one that you may well be able to overcome.
Good luck to you.
Samantha.

Try again with state nomination, only this time put down more hours training. Sometimes they fail you , because the form is not clear to them.
Try getting an agent to help, its worth it in the long run.

Take it easy & try not to stress too much. No matter how impossible the situation may seem, there is always something you can do ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And... we all have down days, so you're not alone there either![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Did you keep copies of everything you sent to Vetassess? If so, forward everything to a decent agent for their opinion on what they can do to help you put things right. As others have said, sometimes it's not that you don't have the right experience or quals, it's more a case of whether you have presented it in a way that makes sense to the assessors.
Best of luck - if it's meant to be, it will happen
