Skills Assessment

If you’re planning to migrate to Australia under a skilled visa category—such as the Points Tested, Employer Sponsored, Graduate Migrant, or Temporary Graduate visa—obtaining a skills assessment is a crucial step in the process. A positive skills assessment proves that your qualifications and work experience meet the standards required to work in your nominated occupation in Australia.

A skills assessing authority is a government-approved organisation responsible for evaluating your professional qualifications, education background, and employment history. Each occupation listed on Australia’s skilled occupation lists is assessed by a specific authority, such as Engineers Australia, VETASSESS, ACS (Australian Computer Society), or AHPRA, among others. These authorities determine whether your skills are comparable to Australian standards for your nominated profession.
