A statutory declaration engineers is a legally binding written statement made under oath before an authorized witness. For engineers applying for a migration skills assessment in Australia, it is one of the most critical supporting documents you may be required to submit — and one of the most commonly mishandled. A vague, incorrectly structured, or improperly witnessed declaration can fail to support your application or be rejected entirely by the assessing authority.
At CDRAustraliaEngineer, we prepare professionally written, authority-compliant declarations for engineers and skilled professionals across all major Australian assessing bodies. Whether you are self-employed, your employer is unavailable, or your reference letter lacks the detail required by VETASSESS, ACS, or Engineers Australia, we draft a clear, legally structured document that fills the evidential gap your application needs.
We have supported thousands of applicants from more than 40 countries with complete, compliant skills assessment submissions. A well-prepared statutory declaration for skills assessment can be the difference between a positive outcome and a delay request that sets your migration timeline back by weeks.
A formal declaration for skills assessment purposes is a self-declared written statement submitted as supporting evidence in your migration application. Unlike an employment reference letter issued by your employer a statutory declaration is prepared by you and signed in the presence of an authorized witness such as a Justice of the Peace, solicitor, notary public, or legal equivalent in your country.
Australian assessing authorities accept these declarations as supplementary evidence where official documentation is missing, insufficient, or impossible to obtain. They are not a replacement for primary employment evidence; they are a structured supplement that fills specific evidential gaps assessors need addressed.
Key uses in a skills assessment submission:
When you don’t have adequate reference documents; when reference documents are unclear or unverifiable; when you are providing a supplementary explanation of employment history and a comprehensive record of work to prove and support your immigration and skills assessment. Such situations include, but are not limited to:
A good statutory declaration would help supplement the evidence you have and facilitate understanding by assessing authorities.
CDR australiaengineer specialises in high-quality CDR, RPL and VETASSESS reports for engineers. We offer low-cost, customized and reliable services in diverse engineering disciplines.
A compliant written statement for skills assessment must contain specific content and meet formal legal requirements. Omitting critical information means the assessing body cannot rely on it.
We consult with you, gather details of your employment or self-employment background, and write a complete, authority-compliant declaration ready for signing before an authorized witness. Every document is written to satisfy the specific requirements of your target assessing body.
Specialist preparation for engineers, contractors, and consultants who worked independently. We address VETASSESS and EA self-employment documentation requirements in the full business structure description, duty narratives, client engagement details, and correct legal declaration format.
If you’re unable to provide a reference letter due to a company closing, inactive HR, or direct employer refusal. We draft formal statements and verify your work duties professionally in order to provide them to you as supporting documents.
Do you already prepare one on your own? We review against the requirements of the assessing authority specified by you, advise on the shortcomings and/or non-compliance elements, and update the document to become suitable for the submission.
Preparation of the entire statement, including guidance on how the official supporting documents, e.g. Tax papers, bank statements, business registry, and client invoices, should be put together for a smooth and cohesive submission package.
Prepare and develop customized declarations aligning with the requirements of multiple assessing authorities, especially for those who apply for assessment for the second time or to multiple bodies at once.

A statutory declaration is a legally witnessed, self-declared written statement used as supporting evidence in a migration skills assessment. Engineers need one when their employment reference letter is unavailable, insufficient, or cannot be obtained.
No. A declaration is a supplementary document, not a substitute. Assessing bodies in Australia still require official documentation to confirm employment dates, position titles, and payment evidence.
The authorized witness must be a qualified legal professional in your country of residence, typically a Justice of the Peace, solicitor, notary public, barrister, or commissioner for oaths. The witness must sign, date, and include their full name, title, and contact details.
No. VETASSESS explicitly does not accept statutory declarations for trade occupation assessments. For trade occupations, a direct supervisor or employer reference is required regardless of circumstances. For professional occupation assessments, VETASSESS accepts declarations as supplementary evidence alongside official documentation.
A self-employment declaration should describe your business name, operating period, engineering services provided, client or project types, and the specific technical duties you personally performed. For VETASSESS it should also explain your company’s organizational structure and reporting lines.
You can, but vague duty descriptions, incorrect legal formatting, or missing content will prevent the declaration from meeting your assessing body’s evidentiary standard.
