Skills assessment Australia is the mandatory first step for anyone planning skilled migration to Australia. Without it, you cannot lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect or apply for a skilled visa.

Whether your migration journey proceeds or completely stalls depends on how well you do this the first time.

Visa eligibility: Without a positive assessment, you cannot lodge an Expression of Interest for Subclass 189, 190, or 491. Most employer-sponsored pathways also require it.
Points for your visa: A positive assessment unlocks points for qualifications, skilled employment, and age. A negative assessment removes all of these from your points score.
Skilled employment date: For EA assessments, the outcome also determines how many years of work experience count as skilled, which directly affects your migration points.

Skills assessment is the formal process by an approved authority in Australia that determines whether your overseas qualification and work experience fulfill a skills standard required for your occupation in Australia. It is considered a vital requirement for almost all employer-sponsored migration pathways as well as for subclass 189, 190, and 491 skilled visa applications.
Your assessing body depends on the specific occupation under which you would like to be nominated under ANZSCO. For instance, engineers will need to get their assessment done through Engineers Australia, ICT professionals by ACS, nurses by ANMAC, teachers by AITSL and other professionals by VETASSESS. You can consult with us if you are confused.
For most of the outcomes, a skills assessment is valid for three years from the date of issuance. Ensure you have made the application for the visa before it expires. Always verify the current rules of validity with the department of home affairs to ensure accuracy.
