VETASSESS Increase Skills Assessment Fees (Oct 2025)

A reminder that effective by 22 October 2025, VETASSESS will be increasing its application fees for skills assessments across professional and general occupations, as well as those related to Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA) and Industry Labour Agreements (ILA). This increase will not apply to assessments for trade occupations. The adjustments are in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The Key Fee Changes (Oct 2025)

The fee for a full skills assessment for professional and general occupations will increase from $1,070 to $1,096.
For those requiring skills assessment for their Post - Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485) visa assessment under the same occupation, the fee will increase from $832 to $852.
Priority processing will increase from $806 to $825.

If you are prepared to submit your skills assessment to VETASSESS, don’t delay before the fee increase.
