Skills Assessments for Australian Visas
If you’re planning to migrate to Australia under a skilled or employer-sponsored visa, the first step is obtaining a positive skills assessment from a government-approved assessing authority. This is how the Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) confirms that your qualifications and experience meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation.
At Migration Unity, we simplify the process and guide you through every step — from identifying your most suitable occupation to preparing and lodging your assessment.
When Is a Skills Assessment Required?
A skills assessment is mandatory for most skilled visa subclasses, including:
Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme (Direct Entry stream)
Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (for select occupations)
The DOHA assigns a specific assessing authority to each skilled occupation. Only an assessment conducted by the correct authority will be accepted in support of a visa application or Expression of Interest (EOI).
What Assessing Authorities Do
Each assessing authority evaluates whether your skills and work experience align with Australian standards for your occupation. Their requirements vary, but you will generally need to provide:
Identity documents (e.g. passport)
Qualifications (certificates and transcripts)
Work experience (employment references, tax records, contracts)
Licensing or registration, if applicable
Payment of the authority’s assessment fee
Note: there are over 40 different skills assessing authorities in Australia, once our occupation and assessing authority are confirmed, we’ll supply you with a tailored document checklist for your application.
Our 3-Step Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Fixed Fee Quote
Book a video consultation with one of our experienced Registered Migration Agents.
We assess your background and advise on your eligibility for a skilled visa and skills assessment.
You’ll receive a clear, fixed-fee quote covering all stages of the process — with split payment options available.
Step 2: Comprehensive Pre-Assessment & Eligibility Review
We determine the most appropriate skilled occupation based on your qualifications and experience.
We identify the correct assessing authority and conduct a detailed review of your documents.
You’ll receive personalised advice on your likelihood of success and which visa pathways may be available.
This review helps avoid wasting time or money on unviable applications.
Disclaimer: While we provide an expert opinion on your likelihood of success, our pre-assessment does not guarantee a positive outcome.
Step 3: Preparation & Lodgement of Your Application
Once confirmed, we prepare your full skills assessment application to the required authority.
We’ll request all necessary documents from you, assist you in strengthening your supporting evidence, and prepare any supporting declarations or forms.
Your application will be lodged promptly and tracked by our team.
We handle all follow-ups and respond to requests for further information.
The preparation and lodgement timeline depends on how quickly you provide your documents. Assessment processing times vary by authority, case complexity, and workload.
