Skills Assessment
A skills assessment authority evaluates your qualifications against Australian occupational standards. DOHA recognizes assessments exclusively from accredited bodies, each with distinct processes, criteria, timelines, and fees. The authority issuing the assessment varies based on the specific occupation.

Comprehensive Migration Strategy Development
The development of your migration strategy encompasses a thorough analysis, factoring in elements that influence both your assessment outcomes and long-term prospects in Australia. Utilizing a multivariate model, I integrate your qualifications, educational background, occupation lists, and the specific requirements of desired states or territories. This approach also takes into account the Department's immediate and future needs to select an occupation that aligns with your migration goals.
It's important to note that each Australian state and territory maintains its own Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for skilled sponsored visas, along with unique requirements for each occupation. Additionally, your strategy should consider the various occupation lists relevant to migration, including:
-
The Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL),
-
The Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL),
-
The Regional Occupation List (ROL), and
-
The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) ROL.
This tailored strategy ensures a well-informed and precise approach to fulfilling your Australian migration aspirations.
Guidelines for Skills Assessment and Migration Preparation
Skills assessments, issued by assessing authorities, may have an expiry date or, if unspecified, are valid for three years from their issue date. It's crucial that your assessment remains valid when receiving a visa invitation. To streamline your migration process, it's advisable to select an occupation and undergo skills assessment only after achieving the necessary English exam score and devising a personal migration strategy.
Successfully Navigating the Skills Assessment Appeal Process:
-
It's a lesser-known fact that negative skills assessment decisions can be successfully appealed and reversed. A recent success story highlights this possibility: A young specialist, facing immigration hurdles due to an unfavorable skills assessment, partnered with us to file an appeal. By taking this step, which ultimately led to a positive decision, the value of perseverance and the right support in the appeal process was underscored.
-
The cornerstone of a successful appeal is thorough preparation and comprehensive documentation from the outset. If the initial skills assessment results are unsatisfactory—perhaps due to disagreements over the evaluation of relevant work experience or a negative outcome—candidates have the opportunity to challenge the decision. This can be done by presenting additional supporting evidence to the assessing authority.
-
Engaging with our professional migration agents can significantly streamline the appeal process. Our expertise not only reduces the time taken to receive a case outcome but also enhances the likelihood of securing a favorable decision.
