From ACS Skill Assessment Guidelines, I have come to know that if I am unable to obtain the employment reference letter on a company letterhead from my employer, a third party official Statutory Declaration or Affidavit written by a work colleague may be considered.
Can anyone please give me step-by-step guidance on how to do it in details? A sample would be great if you can provide one please.
Let me quote some points from this guidelines which I didn't understand.
I have found the guidelines very complex. Can anyone please help. Please note that my current employer is the first one and I am still continuing.
Thanks in advance.

Let me quote some points from this guidelines which I didn't understand.
- "A Statutory Declaration or Affidavit is a legally written statement declared to be true in the presence of an authorized witness and signed, for example - a Notary Public." -- How many parties are involved in this process? Three? : Supervisor, Witness and Notary Public (for attesting)?
- "All Statutory Declarations or Affidavits must be clearly signed by an authorized witness. The document must state that it was Sworn Before, Signed Before or Witnessed Before the authorized witness by the referee and signed by the authorized witness, with the date and place in which the declaration was made." -- So the declarations will be written and signed by my Supervisor and then it also has to be signed by an witness and then I have to attest the documents by Notary Public? Also I didn't understand the phrase "worn Before, Signed Before or Witnessed Before" - where to write, how to write?
- "Stamp and signature of Notary Public doesn’t state that the referee’s signature is witnessed" - in point 1 they have set Notary Public as witness and now in this point they are not! Please clarify.
- Declaration has to be by someone who is/was my manager and must be senior.
- No supplementary docs needed from my referee (supervisor). Only my payslips/service certificate will be enough.
I have found the guidelines very complex. Can anyone please help. Please note that my current employer is the first one and I am still continuing.
Thanks in advance.
