VETASSESS评估机构自2015年1月开始，根据不同职业类别的工作经验要求，分别扣减1-3年工作经验，如原来A类职业要求申请人必须本科以上学历，且提名职业必须与所学专业高度相关，且近5年至少有1年以上工作经验，如果申请人原本近5年共有3年符合要求的工作经验，那么将被扣减一年，仅剩两年被认可。如是B类职业，原来要求申请人必须本科以上学历，如果提名职业与所学专业并非高度相关，需要近5年至少有3年以上与提名职业高度相关的工作经验，那么这种情况如果申请人原本近5年共有3年符合要求的工作经验，将被完全扣掉，工作经验打分为0，以此类推，也就是说申请人必须完全满足评估要求后，剩余的工作经验才会被移民局认可，才参与打分。
