Individual/ Candidate Support

Skills Assessment

Skills Assessments are an essential part of the migration process for a number of skilled or employer sponsored visa options. We can support you and your migration journey by working with you to complete your Skills Assessment in your desired occupation.

There are 42 different Skills Assessing Bodies in Australia who collectively cover the available occupations and industries. Your Skills Assessment must be undertaken by the Assessing Body legislated to your particular industry or occupation.

We can help you determine if your occupation or chosen pathway requires a Skills Assessment, and who the Assessing Body is. We can then complete your application and work with you to evidence your qualifications and/or work experience.

If you would like more information you can download our Skills Assessment Fact Sheet straight to your inbox, follow the button below. Alteranatively you can call us on 1800 567 663 or email recruitment@regionalmigration.com.

It’s important that the external recruitment process stops here as no one knows your business, culture and staffing needs better than you!  The right ‘fit’ for your business needs to not only meet skill and qualification requirements but also needs to be that perfect fit into your organisation and culture.
