Employment information
This occupation covers Accommodation and Hospitality Managers not elsewhere covered in ANZSCO. All establishments that provide accommodation and hospitality services and that are not classified elsewhere fall under this category. This includes establishments like serviced apartments. Serviced apartments are generally acceptable under the NEC category and may be considered under Hotel or Motel Manager providing that an applicant is able to demonstrate the key requirements for the occupation.
As this is a managerial role, applicants need to demonstrate oversight, control and organisation of an establishment which provides accommodation and hospitality services.
Roles involving staff management of just one department in a hotel setting may be better suited to ANZSCO 431411 Hotel Service Manager
Supporting material for assessment
Applicants nominating this managerial occupation must submit an organisational chart. An organisational chart should include the company letterhead, the applicant’s job position and those of their superiors and subordinates as well as all positions reporting to their immediate supervisor and to the applicant’s direct subordinates. It should also indicate the department’s location within the overall company structure.
If an applicant is unable to obtain an organisational chart from their employer, they must provide a statutory declaration outlining the required information and the reasons why this information cannot be provided.
Not Elsewhere Classified (nec)
Some occupations assessed by VETASSESS are listed as ‘nec’ which means ‘not elsewhere classified’.
If you are nominating one of these occupations, you must ensure that your qualifications and employment are highly relevant to one of the occupation titles given in the ANZSCO description for the particular occupation.
Other specific occupation titles which cannot be found elsewhere in ANZSCO will be considered on a case-by-case basis as long as they are relevant to the ‘nec’ codes. In order to be assessed against an ‘nec’ code, your occupation would generally be described as non-classified, yet specialised or related to its ANZSCO Unit Group description.
Your employment in these nominated occupations should not better match another ANZSCO code (whether assessed by VETASSESS or not). When considering whether to nominate an ‘nec’ occupation, you should consider the sub major group description and determine whether your skills best fit this category.
VETASSESS conducts a case-by-case assessment to determine whether the employment can be considered highly relevant to the classification. If your employment is highly relevant to another ANZSCO occupation, that period of employment cannot be assessed suitably against an ‘nec’ classification, regardless of whether the occupation is available for migration purposes or not.
You should provide a cover letter that justifies the rationale for choosing an ‘nec’ category.
