Skill Assessment

Your First Step Toward a Successful PR Journey

A Skill Assessment is one of the most vital steps in Australia’s skilled migration process. It evaluates whether your qualifications, skills, and work experience meet the standards required for your nominated occupation in Australia. A positive outcome validates your eligibility to work in your chosen field and is essential for visa applications such as the Subclass 189, Subclass 190, and Subclass 491.

At Malhotra Migration , we understand that this stage can feel overwhelming. Our expert consultants provide personalized guidance to make your Skill Assessment process simple, stress-free, and successful. With our experience, you can approach this crucial step confidently as you move closer to your dream of Australian Permanent Residency (PR).

What Is a Skill Assessment?

A Skill Assessment is an official review conducted by an authorized Australian assessing body to determine whether your qualifications and professional experience align with the expectations of your nominated occupation. The process ensures that overseas-trained professionals meet the same standards as their Australian counterparts, maintaining the integrity of the Australian workforce. Each occupation listed on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) has a specific assessing authority responsible for verifying credentials. For instance, Engineers Australia evaluates engineers, ACS reviews IT professionals, and Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) assesses trade occupations. The requirements may differ depending on the authority, making it essential to understand the specific process relevant to your occupation.

Why a Skill Assessment Is Important

A Skill Assessment is more than just a formality — it’s your proof of professional credibility. A positive result confirms that your expertise, training, and experience meet Australian standards, strengthening your skilled migration visa application. It also contributes significant points under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program.

Additionally, a Skill Assessment validates your qualifications for professional registration or licensing, where applicable. Employers and government authorities recognize it as evidence of your readiness to contribute to Australia’s workforce. Without a valid Skill Assessment, most skilled visa applications cannot progress.

Skill Assessment Process

The process varies depending on your occupation and assessing authority, but it typically follows a structured pathway. We help simplify each stage for you. Here’s how the process generally works:
