2023 — Australia’s skilled migration momentum continues…

I work in XX or studied XX — I seem to overlap with several occupations. Which one applies to me?

The occupation under which you apply for Australian skilled migration is determined by your skills assessment. Each assessing authority in Australia has specific requirements around skills, qualifications, and work experience for different occupations. The outcome of your assessment generally depends on a combination of your qualifications and work experience.

Where you obtained your qualifications, how many years of work experience you have, your specific job duties, your employer’s structure — all of these factors influence which occupation(s) your assessment can cover.

For accounting, for instance, with qualifications + language proficiencyalone, you can obtain a skills assessment — by completing the required coursework and achieving the required language scores

For engineering and IT, , using qualifications + work experience, or a Professional Year (PY), to obtain a skills assessment — by completing a closely related degree programme, then adding a Professional Year or relevant work experience to obtain the skills assessment

For many other occupations, you can use work experience aloneto obtain a skills assessment (the required years of experience are shorter if you hold a relevant qualification). Occupations in marketing, finance, design, and public relations — among many others — do not require a relevant degree; work experience alone is sufficient.
