QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the document, ‘Skilling WA - A workforce development plan for Western Australia’, and the short term priority action 2.1.3, Recognition of overseas qualifications - The Department of Training and Workforce Development will investigate alternative models for processing the recognition of skilled migrant qualifications to improve timeliness and outcomes for business and migrants, and I ask -
(1) When will alternative models for processing the recognition of skilled migrant qualifications be investigated?
(2) As the Department’s internet site lists the timeframes for assessment by interview as ranging between 45 minutes to 15 working days, and within 5 to 20 working days for assessment by mail, what is the target time frame hoped to be achieved by implementing alternative models?
