Skills Assessment
Department of Home Affairs requires visa applicants to supply skills assessments in support of a range of Skilled visa applications and Expressions of Interest (EOI). In some cases, overseas workers are also required to supply skills assessments in support of employer-sponsored work visa applications.
If you intend to apply for a ‘Skilled’ visa, you must obtain a skills assessment to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills that match those required for an occupation listed on current visa Occupation Lists.
This requirement relates to the following visas:
- Subclass 189 Skilled – Independent visa (Points Stream)
- Subclass 190 Skilled – Nominated visa
- Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate visa (Graduate Work stream)
- Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)
- Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored (Regional) visa
In some cases, you may need to obtain a skills assessment for other employer-nominated visas. This is a requirement for subclass 186 ENS (Direct Entry stream) and certain subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa applicants.
