Australian Department of Labour and Employment
According to the Australian Department of Employment and Labour, a specialty occupation is one that requires theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, and attainment of a bachelor’s or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry into the occupation into a Managerial position*. To qualify as a specialty occupation, the position* must require: (1) a theoretical and practical application of a body of highly-specialized knowledge; and (2) attainment of a bachelor’s or higher degree in the specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for the position*. Remember, you are the Subject Matter Expert (SME) and have been in the Hospitality Industry for a few years now and this is your Statement of Purpose (or letter) to the Australian Department of Employment and Labour, to establish eligibility by showing that the particular position of a ‘Regional Manager’* is so complex or unique that it can be performed only by an individual with a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific specialty, or its equivalent. You must establish that the prospective employee will perform services in a specialty occupation as a Regional Manager, and how each field of study listed as a qualifying field for the proffered position is directly related to the duties and responsibilities* of the position. To satisfy this requirement, you must: 1. Establish that the proffered position (Regional Manager) is a specialty occupation as defined above. The industry interprets “a bachelor’s degree or higher in a specific specialty” as used above as one that relates directly to the duties and responsibilities of a particular position (See Sample Offer Letter). 2. Establish a close correlation between the required “body of highly specialized knowledge” and the position. A minimum entry requirement of a bachelor’s degree in disparate fields of study would not meet the requirement that the position requires a degree “in the specific specialty (or its equivalent)” unless you establish how each field is directly related to the duties and responsibilities of the particular position (See Sample Offer Letter), and therefore, that the position is a specialty occupation. 3. Explain how each field of study listed as a qualifying field for the proffered position is directly related to the duties and responsibilities of the position.
Sample Solution
The agency with responsibility for labour inspection and law enforcement is the Office of the Fair Work Ombudnsman , (FWO). The FWO is an independent statutory agency and has both an education and a technical assistance function, as well as the responsibility to monitor and enforce compliance of the Fair Work Act. The Fair Work Ombudsman is responsible for the application of Commonwealth workplace laws, in regard to labour inspection and compliance. The Minister for Employment, Education and Workplace Relation does not direct the Fair Work Ombudsman in relation to the Fair Work Ombudsman’s performance of functions.
