Australia Updates Skills Assessment Requirements for Migrants
Individuals planning to relocate to Australia for work should be aware of these updated requirements for skills assessments. Those without academic documents must prepare a statutory declaration, and tradespeople with overseas qualifications should anticipate the TSR process and potential costs, especially if seeking licensing in Western Australia.
Australia has updated its skills assessment requirements. For individuals undergoing skills assessments who lack academic documents, a statutory declaration is now required. This declaration must detail the qualification, year of study, duration, and the reason for the absence of original documents.
Additionally, overseas trade qualifications will be assessed through Trade Skills Recognition (TSR) via approved Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). This process is frequently necessary for obtaining licensing in Western Australia and may involve associated fees.
