If you require a skills assessment for migration purposes, it is essential to first consult the Department of Home Affairs or an expert migration agent to ensure you apply under the correct program for your intended visa subclass. Our team can assist you with finding the right match of migration agents as well. Skills assessments obtained through RPL may be accepted for a range of skilled migration visa subclasses, including:

• Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa
• Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa
• Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa
• Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa
• Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme Visa
• Subclass 407 – Training Visa (in some cases)

Each visa subclass may have specific requirements regarding the type of skills assessment needed and the assessing authority. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to seek advice from the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent to ensure your RPL qualification aligns with the requirements of your visa application.
