Important Update: Australia’s Skill Assessment Fees Increasing in November

Keep yourself updated regarding the November 20th, inflation-related fee increase for professional and general occupation assessments.



Overview of Fee Changes


The application fees for evaluations pertaining to professional and general vocations will be raised starting on November 20. This change is intended to bring the fees into line with current trends in inflation. Importantly, this rise will not impact assessments for trade jobs.

Details of the Fee Adjustment

1. Fee Increase: The revised fees have been thoroughly examined in compliance with Australian Government requirements and will take into account adjustments to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is the first fee modification since July 2023.

2. Priority Processing Fees Notably, the cost of Priority Processing will not increase, guaranteeing that candidates who want faster evaluations can keep doing so without incurring extra expenses.

Transition Period

Applications received before November 20 will be handled at the current fee rates in order to facilitate a seamless transition. It is recommended that applicants submit their requests before to this date in order to benefit from the current pricing structure.

Vetassess strives to keep its price schedule open and honest while making sure that its offerings are current to accommodate applicants’ changing needs.
