Get your skills assessed

For most skilled visas, you need a skills assessment from the relevant authority for your occupation.

Why this matters

Without a positive skills assessment, you can't apply for most skilled migration visas.

1
Check which assessing authority covers your occupation on the skilled occupation list
2
Review their requirements (documents, qualifications, experience)
3
Lodge your application and pay the fee (can be $500-2000)
4
Processing times vary from weeks to months

Skills assessments expire (usually 2-3 years). Don't get it too early.
