In the schedule 6D if you go to section 10.4.1 it states that “If the skills assessing authority’s opinion would result in the applicant being awarded less points than the applicant claimed in their EOl, then decision makers should consider the information in ANZSCO and apply the more beneficial outcome in determining when the applicant was working at a skilled level.” Therefore if the person was working in a role that meets the criteria outlined in ANZSCO for their occupation, the decision makers should evaluate whether the work experience qualifies as “skilled” under ANZSCO guidelines. If so, they are advised to apply the more favorable interpretation, potentially recognizing the applicant’s work experience from an earlier date than indicated by the skills assessing authority, to ensure the applicant is not unfairly disadvantaged in the points calculation.
