Australian skills assessment authorities
A positive skills assessment is the first mandatory step toward a Skilled Independent (189), Skilled Nominated (190) or Skilled Work Regional (491) visa. Your assessing body is determined by your nominated ANZSCO occupation — these ten guides cover the authorities we work with most.
Australia Skills Assessment
Ten assessing authorities.One correct route.
Your nominated ANZSCO occupation decides which body assesses you. Choosing the right authority — and evidencing your duties against its criteria — is the difference between a clean outcome and a costly re-lodgement.
Designated Australian assessing authorities covered by our advisory practice — from ICT and engineering to nursing, teaching and skilled trades.
Not sure which assessing authority applies to your occupation?
Send us your qualifications and role history — we map your ANZSCO occupation to the correct assessing body before you spend a rupee on lodgement.

Browse the authorities by profession
Each authority sets its own criteria, document requirements and processing standards within the framework defined by the Department of Home Affairs.
Assessment criteria, occupation lists and fees are set by the individual authorities and the Australian Government, and are subject to change without notice. MovesEdu does not issue skills assessment outcomes — we help you prepare a strong, compliant application.
Before you apply
Get the occupation mapping right first
Most negative outcomes trace back to a mismatch between your actual duties and the ANZSCO task description for the occupation you nominated — not to a weak CV.
