Qualifications
You must have been awarded a post secondary qualification which is at least
equivalent to an Australian Bachelors degree (or higher), diploma or trade qualification
(AQF certificate III or IV). You also need to have your skills assessed by the relevant
assessing authority as suitable for working in your nominated occupation.
Note: In exceptional cases if an applicant without a post secondary qualification
nominates a highly specialised 60 point skilled occupation and has extensive skilled work
experience this may be accepted. This would only be considered if the assessing
authority has issued a positive skills assessment based on the applicant’s work
experience in that occupation.
