Skill    Assessment 

A skills assessment is how Australian Immigration determines if you qualify as a skilled worker for a visa. It ensures your qualifications and experience meet the standards of an equivalent Australian occupation, aligning with the country's skilled workforce needs. For example, if applying as a carpenter, your skills and experience will be assessed against Australian standards. This assessment serves as proof of your eligibility to live and work in Australia.
