186 VISA SKILL REQUIREMENTS -Skills Assessment

As at time of visa application, the applicant must provide evidence that their skills had been assessed as being suitable for the occupation.

A skills assessment undertaken after the submission of visa application does not meet visa requirements.

A positive skills assessment for an occupation should have the 6-digit ANZSCO code.

For example, a positive skills assessment for the occupation of :

ANALYST PROGRAMMER ANZSCO 261311 will not satisfy criteria as a skills assessment for an application specifying the occupation of DEVELOPER PROGRAMMER ANZSCO 261312, although it is in the same UNIT GROUP 2613 SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS PROGRAMMERS

The skills assessment must clearly show that the applicant had their skills assessed as suitable by the relevant assessing authority before the visa application.

However, skills assessments can be submitted after the visa application but the results of the assessment must have been obtained prior to date of visa application.

If a positive skills assessment is submitted for an occupation that:

is not the 6-digit occupation on the application but
is within the same 4-digit unit group

in limited circumstances there may be an option under policy for the applicant. In this situation, the applicant may request confirmation from the assessing authority that they would otherwise meet a skills assessment for the nominated occupation even though they gained an assessment for another occupation within the same 4-digit unit group.

For example, if:

the application is for the occupation of Registered Nurse (Paediatrics)(ANZSCO 254425) but
the skills assessment is for the occupation of Registered Nurse (Child and Family Health) (ANZSCO 254413)

and AHPRA is the assessing authority for both, the above policy may be applied. It is the applicant’s responsibility to correspond with the assessing authority in these cases.

Skills assessments Period
Skills assessments are valid for 3 years from the date of the assessment.

If more than 3 years has elapsed between the date the skills assessment was issued and the date on which the application was made, the assessment will not meet the requirements of 186 visa.

Another is that the skills assessing authorities issue skills assessment specifying expiry dates, then it will be the stated date.
In the nominated occupation for 3 years
At the time of application the applicant must have been employed for at least 3 years.

The applicant must have worked full-time for at least 3 years however the period of work does not have to be continuous, or be immediately before the visa application was made.
Employment should be full time
In order for the work to qualify as full-time, the applicant should have worked for at least 35 -38 hours per week.

If work experience is to be expressed in full-time terms, for part-time workers this can be calculated pro-rata.

For example, if the requirement is for 3 years of relevant full-time work experience, if part-time work is at 50% of a full-time load, the applicant must be able to demonstrate they have worked in that occupation on a part-time basis for 6 years.
