Answers
Skilled visas: common questions
Do I need a skills assessment for every skilled visa?
Most skilled visas require assessment by the relevant authority for your occupation. Check current skilled occupation lists and requirements at https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/.
Can an employer sponsor me if I am already in Australia?
Some sponsored visas require you to be offshore or onshore depending on subclass and nomination type. We assess your visa history before recommending a pathway.
