From 1 January 2026, VETASSESS Pathway 1 applicants will be required to complete and submit a Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital Skills (LLND) assessment as part of their Documentary Evidence Assessment application.
This new requirement applies to applicants in trade occupations who do not currently hold an Australian qualification or occupational licence. The LLND assessment will help ensure that applicants possess the necessary skills to meet the demands of the Australian workforce.
To submit the LLND assessment, applicants must:
- Download the LLND form from the Evidence Upload section of the online portal.
- Complete all sections of the form in full.
- Upload the completed LLND form, along with the supporting evidence, when submitting the application.
In addition, VETASSESS will release updated video guides for each occupation, effective 1 January 2026. Before preparing video evidence, please ensure that you download the latest version of the relevant video guide from the official VETASSESS website to meet the updated requirements.
