Skill Assessment
✅ What Is a Skills Assessment and Why Is It Crucial for Your Australian Visa?
A skills assessment is an official evaluation conducted by designated Australian authorities to verify that your qualifications, work experience, and skills align with Australian standards for your nominated occupation. This assessment is a mandatory requirement for most skilled migration visas, including the Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent), Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated), and Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional) visas.
✅ Why Is a Skills Assessment Important?
Visa Eligibility: A positive skills assessment is often a prerequisite for lodging your visa application. Without it, you cannot apply for many skilled migration visas.
Occupation Verification: It confirms that your overseas qualifications and experience meet the standards required for your nominated occupation in Australia.
✅ Which Assessing Authority Should You Use?
Australia has over 40 assessing authorities, each responsible for specific occupations. For example:
- VETASSESS: Assesses a wide range of professional occupations.
- Trades Recognition Australia (TRA): Specialises in assessing trade occupations.
- Australian Computer Society (ACS): Evaluates ICT professionals.
- Engineers Australia: Assesses engineering professionals.
It's crucial to select the correct assessing authority for your occupation to ensure a smooth application process.
