This assessment is conducted by various assessing authorities designated by the Australian government, depending on the occupation or profession of the individual.

The purpose of the skill assessment is to ensure that the individual has the necessary skills, knowledge, and qualifications to work in their chosen field in Australia. The assessment also helps to determine the appropriate level of education or training required to meet Australian standards.

The assessment process typically involves submitting documents such as educational certificates, work experience letters, and other relevant documents to the relevant assessing authority. The assessing authority will then review the documents and may also conduct interviews or other assessments to verify the individual's skills and qualifications.
