Skills Assessments

In the context of Australian visas, a skills assessment is a formal process conducted by designated assessment bodies to evaluate an individual’s qualifications, work experience, and skills in relation to a specific occupation. The primary aim is to ensure that visa applicants possess the requisite expertise and competency required for their nominated occupation in Australia. The choice of the assessing authority depends on the nature of the occupation, with various bodies specializing in different professions. Popular skills assessment bodies include Engineers Australia for engineering roles, VETASSESS for a diverse range of skilled occupations, ACS for information and communication technology professionals, and others such as AIM, ANMAC, and AACA catering to specific sectors. A positive skills assessment is a crucial component of visa applications, particularly for skilled migration visas, ensuring that individuals meet the necessary standards to contribute effectively to the Australian workforce.
