Requirements for Skills Assessment
This occupation requires a qualification assessed as comparable to the educational level
of an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Diploma or higher, in a field highly
relevant to the nominated occupation.
If the qualification is in a highly relevant field to the occupation, then at least one year of
highly relevant post-qualification employment at an appropriate skill level, completed in
the last five years is required.
If the qualification is not in a highly relevant field, two years of highly relevant
