Skills Assessment Australia| Get Your Overseas Qualifications Recognised

WHY IT MATTERS
A Positive Assessment Opens Doors.
A positive skills assessment is the foundation of almost every skilled migration pathway in Australia. Without it, you cannot submit a SkillSelect Expression of Interest, you cannot claim points for your qualification, and you cannot be nominated by a state or territory for a skilled visa.
A failed skills assessment, or an assessment lodged with the wrong body, wastes months and significant money. Career Launchers knows the bodies, the requirements, and the pitfalls.

STRATEGY
Your Skills Assessment Is Part of a Bigger Plan
At Career Launchers, we never treat a skills assessment as a standalone task. It is always part of a broader migration strategy. We assess your qualification and work history, identify the correct assessing body, advise on how the outcome affects your points score, and map out the rest of your migration pathway from the very first consultation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which assessing body is relevant to my occupation?
Each occupation in the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is assigned to a specific assessing body. Career Launchers identifies the correct ANZSCO code and assessing body for you as the first step of the process.
How long does a skills assessment take?
Processing times vary by assessing body. ACS assessments can take 6 to 12 weeks. Engineers Australia takes 8 to 16 weeks. VETASSESS takes 8 to 12 weeks for professional occupations. Career Launchers advises on current processing times and helps you plan your migration timeline accordingly.
What if I receive a negative skills assessment?
A negative assessment is not always final. Many assessing bodies offer a reassessment process where you can provide additional documentation or challenge specific aspects of the decision. Career Launchers reviews negative outcomes carefully and advises on the most appropriate response.
Can I use a skills assessment I received before my current application?
Skills assessments have varying validity periods. Most are valid for 3 years from the date of the assessment. If your assessment is approaching its expiry date, Career Launchers advises on whether reassessment is required before lodging your visa application.
Do I need a skills assessment to apply for employer sponsored visas?
For the Subclass 186 Direct Entry stream and some Subclass 482 occupations, a positive skills assessment is required. Career Launchers confirms the specific requirement for your occupation and visa subclass.
