Australian Computer Society is the primary body in charge of ICT professionals who wish to migrate to Australia as skilled workers. The major task of ACS is to assess potential international and ICT experts applicants. They make sure that candidates meet the requirements of the relevant assessing authority for work in Australia’s chosen occupation.
Four ACS assessment pathways for skilled migration
1. Temporary Graduate (TG) – only applicable for Australian Bachelor degree holders or higher
Graduates who have completed an Australian Bachelor’s degree or higher are eligible for the Temporary Graduate pathway. This is a skills evaluation for qualifications only, and it can only be used to apply for a subclass 485 visa. For particular 485 visa information, please contact the Department of Home Affairs.
- A Temporary Graduate pathway is only applicable to nominated occupations that appear on the subclass 485 Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
- To meet the eligibility criteria, you must have finished an Australian bachelor’s degree or higher at an Australian educational institution with a major in ICT that is closely related to the nominated occupation (ANZSCO).
2. Post-Australian Study (PAS) – only applicable for Australian Bachelor degree holders or higher
The Post Australian Study pathway is for graduates with a Bachelor’s degree or higher from Australia who want a skill evaluation for migration purposes in general. A relevant ICT background or completion of an ACS Professional Year program is required. Please contact the Department of Home Affairs for visa information.
For an acceptable skills assessment, you will need an Australian Bachelor’s degree or higher with a major in ICT that is closely relevant to the nominated occupation (ANZSCO), as well as one of the following requirements:
- 1 year of relevant work experience accomplished after the qualifying Australian degree was completed, or
- Completion of an ACS Professional Year Program.
3. Skills Assessment (Skills)
This application pathway is utilized for tertiary ICT credentials and jobs in the general skill assessment category.
