If you are looking for Skilled Migration to Australia, then you must obtain a positive skill assessment result first before applying for the visa. Engineers Australia Assessment Validity is the designated assessing authority for all engineering occupations that will measure your academic qualification, work experience, English level, etc. Once you get the assessment result for your desired pathway, you can apply for the migration.
According to Engineers Australia, the assessment result will remain valid forever for Engineers Australia. However, DIBP (Department of Immigration and Border Protection) mandates that the assessment notification should be no more than three years old at the time of migration application. You have to contact the MSA (Migration Skills Assessment) for the renewal of the assessment letter after that period of time. You must return the original letter to Migration Skills Assessment with the full payment form to receive an updated letter.
After the success of your assessment procedure, an assessment outcome letter appropriate for migration purposes will be sent to you by means of email for Engineers Australia Assessment Validity. In the event that you have nominated a migration agent to follow up on your behalf, your outcome letter will be sent by means of email to your agent instead. For the letters that cannot be issued electronically, they will be sent by ordinary post and you may be charged a fee for this service. The outcome letters can be confirmed online by entering the application details on the Assessment Outcome Verification page.

FAQ – Engineers Australia Assessment Validity
1. How long is an Australian skills assessment valid for?
A skills assessment is valid for three years. If your skills assessment letter lacks a date, you can safely assume that the assessment is valid for three years from the issue date. On the other hand, the skills assessment lists a date less than three years old, and the skill assessment validity follows the letter’s date.
In cases where the skill assessment letter has more than three years of validity, the Department will only consider the most recent date.
2. How do I renew my engineering skills assessment in Australia?
A TRA Skills Assessment Outcome Letter is valid for three years after its issue. TRA Skills Assessment Outcome Letters cannot be renewed after they expire. You will need to apply for a new Skills Assessment and undergo the new Skills Assessment application Process.
