12 February 2015: RSMS 187 Policy Change: Do you hold a Certificate IV qualification in Australia?

The Department of Immigration have updated their RSMS policy to state that those who hold Certificate IV qualifications in Australia will now NOT be required to prove 2 years of experience as before. This is great news for all those cooks out there who hold a Certificate IV qualification. 

The amended policy states: 

If the applicant relies on an Australian qualification, that qualification must be as specified within the ANZSCO framework for that occupation. For example, if the nominated position were that of a cook (ANZSCO 351411), the applicant must:

 hold a relevant AQF Certificate IV or
 hold a relevant AQF Certificate III including at least two years of on the job training or
 have at least 3 years of relevant experience.
