Step 1
Check the Department of Immigration and Citizenship's requirements for General Skilled Migration.
Step 2
Read AITSL's Application Guide for assessment criteria, details on how to complete the application form and the supporting documents required.
Complete the Application Form. When preparing an application make certain it is lodged well before the assessment outcome is required as AITSL does not provide a fast-track assessment service.
Step 3
On receipt of an application the payment (AUD550) is processed and an email notification with an application reference number is issued within 5-10 working days. Use this reference number for all communications with AITSL.
Assessments are usually completed within 10 weeks from the date of the initial notification email, providing all supporting documents are submitted with the application and appropriately certified. Allow extra time for the postal delivery of the assessment outcome.
We ask all applicants and migration agents to limit inquiries about progress of assessments, as this takes time away from completing assessments.
