Default Statutory Declaration for Previous Employments

Hi,
This is Bhanu, newly joined in this forum.
I am desperately trying to migrate to OZ. So, I have gone through the threads available over this forum, which are really helpful a lot to understand the process.
I really appreciate Anjali's (anj1976) contribution, with which I have found the path to ACS Skills Assessment.

I have done my M.Tech in Computers and currently I am working for my 3rd company. I have exactly 4 years of IT experience.

I have the below queries:
(a) For the current employment I am decided to provide Statutory Declaration. Can anybody provide me the format or tell me how to do it?
(b) Do I need to provide Employer References/Statutory Declarations for previous employments also? Providing the reference for current company is not sufficient?
Please let me know your suggestions.
Thank you.

Regards
Bhanu Tiruveedula.

Hi Bhanu

welcome to the forum, I believe you have gone through posts/threads on ACS, why not search for Stat dec too.. I do remember reading a lot about it.

In case you are not able to manage documents from previous employment, try sending them other documents that support your CV. or maybe try taking reference letters from your X employees with their respective business cards.

Hi Anjali,
Thanks for the quick reply.

I have read in this forum that Stat Decl vary from country to country. If so, Should I not use the document at the path "ag.gov.au/statdec"?

And I am planning to manage the previous employments with OfferLetters, Payslips, Relieving letters, Form 16s, references, instead of Reference Letter/Stat Decl. Is that fine?

Regards
Bhanu Tiruveedula.

Hi Ritu,

Thanks for the help.
As I heard from this forum, the statutory declaration form will be specific to country. What you have posted here is the one for Australia.

Hi all,
Please let me know if you have the format for India, and correct me if I am wrong.
I have searched over this forum, but no luck.
Help me in this regard. Thank you.

Hi Ritu,

I think you have cleared the process, right.
If so, I believe we can use that stat decl too.

Experts, any comments regarding this.
Thank you.
