Episode Summary:

When you lodge an EOI within a nominated occupation, your skills must meet the standards set by the DHA to work in that occupation. To prove your eligibility, an applicant must get their skills assessed by a skills assessing authority. If you don't get a positive assessment result you cannot apply for a skilled migration visa. Obtaining a suitable skills assessment is mandatory for some visa subclasses (and streams) and may be requested for others.

A skill assessment is mandatory for the following visas:

General Skilled Migration visas (Subclass 189, 190, 489, 491), Employer Sponsored Visas (Subclass 186, 187), Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482), and Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) graduate work stream.
