3.3 STATUTORY DECLARATIONS
A Statutory Declaration is a written statement declared to be true in the presence of an authorised witness.
Applicants can submit statutory declarations for the following circumstances –
Past education providers or employers no longer exist
You are reluctant to approach your current employer for a statement of service
You submit a reference from your colleague who occupies or has occupied a higher position than you and is an expert in your nominated occupation, within the organisation you were employed (An organisation chart signed by your colleague’s immediate supervisor must be included)
========================
In the absence of a detailed description of duties from an employer, an applicant may submit a reference from a colleague, preferably at a supervisory level, or a client in the form of a statutory declaration describing the nature of their relationship with the applicant and supplying details of the duties performed and relevant dates of employment.
