VisaChief Engineers Australia skills assessment: occupations and visas
Every occupation Engineers Australia assesses, with ANZSCO codes and the visa subclasses each one opens.
Engineers Australia (The Institution of Engineers Australia) is the assessing authority for 30 occupations on Australia's skilled occupation lists. A positive assessment from the right authority is a precondition for lodging - the department does not accept an assessment from a different body, however good it is.
Official site: www.engineersaustralia.org.au. Fees, evidence requirements and turnaround times are set by the authority, not by the department.

Where the assessment sits in the process
- Confirm your occupation and its ANZSCO code on this page.
- Apply to Engineers Australia with your qualifications and employment evidence.
- Sit your English test - see the score tables.
- Score yourself on the points calculator and submit an EOI.
Assessments have a validity period, and yours must still be valid at invitation and at lodgement. Starting the assessment late is the most common reason a skilled application misses a round.
Frequently asked questions
What does Engineers Australia assess?
Engineers Australia is the skills assessing authority for 30 occupations on the Australian skilled occupation lists, listed in full on this page.
Can I use a different assessing authority?
No. The authority is fixed by your nominated occupation. An assessment from another body will not satisfy the criterion.
Do I need a skills assessment before submitting an EOI?
For most points-tested visas you need it before you are invited, and the evidence must be there at lodgement. Assess early - it is the longest lead item in the process.
