Skill Assessment

Skill assessment is a crucial part of the migration process to Australia.

 

It is the process of evaluating an applicant's skills and qualifications to ensure that they meet the standards and requirements of the Australian industry. It is required for a range of visa types, including Skilled Independent visas, Employer Nomination Scheme visas, and Temporary Graduate visas.

​

There are several assessing authorities in Australia that are responsible for evaluating skills in specific occupations. These assessing authorities have different requirements and criteria, and they assess different types of skills and qualifications.

 

Some of the most common assessing authorities in Australia include:

​

• Australian Computer Society (ACS) for IT professionals

• Engineers Australia for engineers

• Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) for nurses and midwives

• Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) for tradespeople

• VETASSESS the largest skill assessment provider for multiple professionals

​​

The skill assessment process typically involves an assessment of an applicant's qualifications, work experience, and English language proficiency. Depending on the assessing authority and occupation, additional requirements such as a skills assessment test or an interview may also be required.

​

It's important to note that the skill assessment process can be complex and time-consuming, and it's essential to seek professional advice and guidance to ensure that your application meets the relevant requirements and standards.
