What is a skills assessment, and will you need one?
If you’re applying for a skilled migration visa, you might need a Skills Assessment. This is a test of whether your qualifications and work experience meet Australian standards for your job. It’s a key step in your visa journey, and we’re here to make it clear and simple.
Obligation-free, limited sessions each week
The exact requirements depend on your job, but here are the four main things most skills assessments look at:
You’ll need to show that your education matches Australian standards for your job. This could be a degree, diploma, certificate, or trade qualification.
Most jobs require proof that you’ve worked in your field. This usually means 1–2 years of relevant experience, but it can vary.
You might need to take an English test, like IELTS or PTE, to show you can meet the required level of English for your job.
Some jobs, like trades or healthcare roles, may also need you to have (or be eligible for) professional registration or licensing in Australia.
Different jobs have different assessing authorities. Common examples include:
VETASSESS
For a wide range of occupations across industries
CPA/CA/IPA
For accountants
ACS
For IT professionals
ANMAC
For nurses and midwives
AASW
For social workers
AITSL
For teachers
