How to File a Migration Skill Assessment with Engineers Australia

Which organization is responsible for conducting the Migration Skill Assessment for various engineering professions?

The Institute of Engineers Australia, commonly known as Engineers Australia (EA), is the designated assessing authority for the majority of engineering occupations in Australia. However, it is important to note that Computer Science Engineers and ICT professionals are assessed by other designated authorities and not by Engineers Australia.

What are the occupational categories in engineering that are assessed by Engineers Australia?

Engineers Australia evaluates four main occupational categories within the engineering sector:

1. Professional Engineer

   
   

2. Engineering Technologist

3. Engineering Associate

4. Engineering Manager

For migration purposes, the Engineering Manager category is also recognized and assessed by Engineers Australia. Each category has specific educational requirements and key areas of responsibility, which applicants must meet when filing a Migration Skill Assessment (MSA). Detailed guidance on these requirements is essential to ensure a successful assessment.

What are the different assessment pathways available for engineers to file a Migration Skill Assessment with Engineers Australia?

Engineers seeking a Migration Skill Assessment with Engineers Australia can choose from six primary application pathways:

Accredited Qualifications:

• Australian Qualifications: For applicants with engineering degrees obtained in Australia.

• Washington Accord Qualifications: For qualifications from institutions that are signatories of the Washington Accord.

• Sydney Accord Qualifications: For qualifications recognized under the Sydney Accord.

• Dublin Accord Qualifications: For engineering qualifications covered by the Dublin Accord.

Non-Accredited Qualifications / Engineering Manager:
