Free Skills Assessment Consultation

Check Your PR Chances: Free Skills Assessment Explained

A free skills assessment consultation is a no-cost, expert-led review designed specifically for skilled migration to Australia. As of 2026, the Department of Home Affairs requires a positive skills assessment from the relevant authority before you can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for points-tested visas.

What is a skills assessment for Australia?

It is an official evaluation by a government-approved assessing authority confirming that your qualifications and work experience meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation.

Is a skills assessment required for PR?

Yes. It is mandatory for Skilled Independent (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated (subclass 190), and Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visas – the main pathways to permanent residency. Without it, your EOI will not progress.

What We Evaluate in Your Skills Assessment Consultation

During your free skills assessment consultation in Melbourne (available for applicants in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide), Edvise Hub experts review:
