Important Information for Healthcare Professionals
Before submitting your Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect, it is crucial to ensure you have the appropriate skills assessment required by the Department of Home Affairs.
Many skills-assessing authorities offer assessments that enable foreign workers to practice in Australia. However, these may differ from the skills assessments required for migration purposes.
Should you have any questions regarding the correct skills assessment for either the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) or the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491), please reach out directly to your assessing authority.
