MIGRATION SKILLS ASSESSMENTS
As published in the list of eligible skilled occupations by the Department of Home Affairs, ACS is the assessing authority for ICT occupations.
Please note that the ACS office will be closed from 22 December 2018 and will re-open on Monday 7 January 2019.
During this time you will still be able to submit a migration skills assessment application through the online portal. Any email enquires during this closure period will be responded to as soon as possible after we re-open on 7 January 2019.
Welcome to ACS Migration Skills Assessment
Before you submit a migration skills assessment for skilled migration, please review the Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants to ensure you meet the criteria.
After submitting your skills application, you will receive email confirmation with an ACS reference number and information to track your application progress.
Please Note: Only one application can be active at any one time.
At the completion of your assessment, ACS will email your result letter which can be submitted to the Department of Home Affairs as evidence of your migration skills assessment.
