Skills Assessment FAQs
What is a skills assessment for Australian migration?
A skills assessment is an evaluation by an Australian assessing authority that confirms your qualifications and work experience match an occupation on Australia's skilled occupation list. It's mandatory for most skilled visa applications including 189, 190, and 491 visas.
Which skills assessment authority do I need?
The assessing authority depends on your occupation: ACS for ICT roles, VETASSESS for general professional and trade occupations, Engineers Australia (EA) for engineers, TRA for trade qualifications, and various other specialized authorities for medical, accounting, and other professions.
How long does a skills assessment take?
Processing times vary by authority: ACS typically takes 6-12 weeks, VETASSESS 12-16 weeks, Engineers Australia 12-20 weeks, and TRA 12-16 weeks. Timeframes depend on completeness of documentation and authority workload.
