Request to finalise an Employment Services Assessment (ESAt) report to create a new ESAt referral 001-02320060
Expand allThis document provides information about the early finalisation of an Employment Services Assessment (ESAt) report. This is required where a new ESAt referral is needed and a previous ESAt report is not yet finalised.
If a new ESAt is required, a request for an ESAt can be made and Assessment Services must follow the below process for early finalisation of previous ESAt.
Automatic finalisation
An ESAt referral can only be made when a previous ESAt report has a status of 'Finalised'. This means a new ESAt cannot be requested within the 28 days before a report is automatically finalised, unless the previous ESAt report is finalised early.
New ESAt referral required
There are several instances where a new ESAt referral may be required before an ESAt report is finalised. For example, the customer lodges an appeal within 28 days of the ESAt report submission and a new ESAt is required.
