Understanding the Process & Why It’s So Complex

There is no single “Skill Assessment” application. Australia has over 35 different assessing authorities, and each one has its own unique, non-negotiable, and complex set of rules.

• IT Professionals (ACS): The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has a specific “deeming” process, where they may “deem” a portion of your work experience as “unskilled” and therefore not count it for points.
• Engineers (Engineers Australia): Requires a detailed Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) to be written, proving your engineering projects meet Australian standards.
• General Professionals (VETASSESS): Assesses a wide range of occupations (like Marketing or Management) and requires a perfect match between your job duties and their official descriptions.
• Trades (TRA): Trades Recognition Australia often requires a practical assessment or a technical interview to prove your hands-on skills.

A mistake with the wrong authority, a poorly written job description, or a missing document will result in a negative outcome, costing you thousands of dollars and months or even years of delay.
