ACS Migration Skills Assessment is the official skills assessment service for IT, Data Science, and Cyber Security professionals seeking to migrate to Australia. The assessment evaluates qualifications and work experience against ANZSCO occupations to determine suitability for skilled migration visas.
Important note
Priority processing is available at no additional fee for applicants with visa deadlines less than 12 weeks from application date (with at least 2 weeks' notice required). ACS cannot provide pre-assessment suitability advice due to the complex nature of the assessment—formal assessment must be completed first. Applicants can apply for up to three ANZSCO codes at once for one fixed price. The assessment evaluates qualifications for Major/Minor/Insufficient ICT content and reviews work experience episodes for relevance and skill level alignment with nominated occupations.
