The ACS Migration Skills Assessment page outlines the skills assessment requirements and procedures for IT, Data Science, and Cyber Security professionals seeking to migrate to Australia. It details application pathways, fees, eligibility criteria, and the assessment process.
Important note
ACS does not require English language tests for skills assessments. Pre-assessment advice is not available due to the complex nature of ICT skills assessment. No fee is charged for priority processing. Applicants can apply for up to three ANZSCO codes at once for one fixed price. Applicants requiring priority processing must allow at least 2 weeks' notice before their visa deadline. For ongoing support, contact ACS Member Services on +61 2 9299 3666 or via email.
