Human Resource Adviser Skills Assessment

MARN 1576536 · Verifiable at mara.gov.au

Human Resource Advisers (ANZSCO 223111) provide staffing and human resources administration services to support an organisation's HR policies and programs. VETASSESS is the assessing authority and treats this as a Group B occupation requiring degree-level qualifications. Related titles include HR Officer, HR Business Partner, HR Analyst and HR Generalist.

The skills assessment & RPL pathway for Human Resource Adviser

VETASSESS assesses both your qualifications and your employment for Human Resource Adviser. As a Group B occupation, it requires a qualification assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor degree or higher. If your qualification is in a highly relevant field, at least one year of highly relevant post-qualification employment at an appropriate skill level in the last five years is generally required. A positive result depends on meeting both the qualification and employment requirements, so your duties must reflect genuine HR advisory work such as recruitment, employee relations and policy implementation.

It is important to be candid about RPL for this occupation. An RTO can issue a vocational HR or business qualification through Recognition of Prior Learning, but because Human Resource Adviser requires degree-level study, an RPL diploma is generally not enough to satisfy the VETASSESS qualification requirement. The VETASSESS skills assessment is a distinct migration process, separate from any RTO award. If you do not hold a relevant bachelor degree, obtain advice before lodging, as the qualification limb is unlikely to be met by RPL alone.

Evidence typically required

• Bachelor degree or higher award and full academic transcripts in a highly relevant field such as human resources, business or psychology
• Detailed employment references describing HR duties such as recruitment, employee relations, performance management and policy implementation
• Payslips, tax records or superannuation statements covering claimed employment periods
• Organisational charts showing your position within the HR function
• Contracts or appointment letters confirming your role and dates of employment
• Evidence that your work involved professional HR advisory tasks rather than purely clerical or payroll processing
