VETASSESS Launches Migration Digital Badges for Successful Skills Assessment Applicants with 360+ Verified Badges Now Available 

We will be conducting scheduled maintenance on our systems on Saturday, January 17. 

Starting January 1 2026, all Pathway 1 applicants must complete and submit a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Skills (LLND) assessment along with their Documentary Evidence Assessment application. 

Can you believe we have reached the end of 2025 already? Wow, time flies! 

As we get ready to sign off for the year, we invite you to look back at the top five highlights of our year. 

VETASSESS is proud to announce that Bendigo Kangan Institute has been awarded Australia’s Large Training Provider of the Year – Gold at the 2025 Australian Training Awards in Darwin.

A new artificial intelligence (AI) pilot is underway to transform how skilled workers gain formal qualifications - making the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process faster and more consistent. 

These changes are planned to take effect from 1 December 2025. These changes do not apply to Trade occupations. 

VETASSESS will close for the Christmas and New Year period from 5pm Tuesday, 23 December 2025, and will reopen on Monday, 5 January 2026. 

VETASSES will host a webinar session on Thursday, 12 February 2026, featuring Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs)
