I am an overseas applicant figuring out the process myself, so apologies if this is obvious, but I can’t find a clear answer.

Vetassess assessed my 3.7 years of employment as 2.7 years skilled employment, which was expected.

I submitted my EOI yesterday. It only asked for my employment start date, so I entered my actual start date and received 5 points for work experience. I haven’t misrepresented anything, and I can’t find anywhere that DHA says the EOI must use the Vetassess DDS.

My question is about timing. I will complete 3 years according to the Vetassess DDS on Dec 4, 2026. Let us assume I receive an invitation on Sept 30th draw and have 60 days to lodge the application, I lodge near the end of November, I will be around 10 days short of 36 months. Would I still be okay?

I’ve also seen DHA material suggesting the assessing authority’s opinion should be considered, but that the final decision is ultimately up to the officer, who should avoid an unnecessarily harsh outcome where a more favourable interpretation is reasonable.

So, am I understanding this correctly?

• Should I use my actual employment start date in the EOI?
• Does DHA strictly have to follow the Vetassess DDS at the visa stage?
• If I’m only 10 days short at lodgement but reach 36 months shortly afterward, could the officer consider my actual employment period?

Would really appreciate any insight from someone who has dealt with this or knows the relevant DHA policy.

I need someone to bring the water bottle which they provide inside the park, we had great memories of mexico and Xcaret few years ago and the bottle was a souvenir which I lost unfortunately.

I sleep in two shifts, once at night, 4-6 hrs and then again during day for about 2 hours. Whoop sometimes doesn’t even recognize my nap and when it does, it does take away my sleep debt but the naps dont reflect positively in my sleep and recovery scores. Am I missing something?
