Migration Skills Assessment with Diploma courses
To apply for permanent residency, you need to have a positive skills assessment for you nominated occupation. It is comparatively more challenging to attain a skills assessment if your nominated occupation is in the Short-Term Occupation list compared to that of Medium to Long Term Occupation List.
What is a positive Skills Assessment?
Your Skills (sometimes includes Degree + Work experience) must be accredited by an Australian Skills Assessing body and you must have a positive outcome before applying for Skilled Migration in Australia.
Following are example of few of the most popular Skills Assessment bodies in Australia:
-
AACA – Architects Accreditation Council of Australia, Inc
-
AASW – Australian Association of Social Workers
-
CPA - Chartered Public Accountants
-
TRA – Trades Recognition Australia
-
VETASSESS – Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services
Few occupations require Work experience in your post qualification whereas for other occupations, a degree is sufficient enough. For example, IT Graduates need a 1 Year Full time work experience or, a Professional Year Degree along with their Australian Bachelor/Master degree.
There is scope to attain a Migration Skills assessment through an eligible diploma course. However, you need to be wary of the course and school that you choose and Skills assessment criterion may vary depending on what you choose.

Individual Support and Aged Care
There is a PR Pathway for Australian PCA and Aged care workers but unlike the other courses, it is not through Skilled Migration rather through employer sponsorship. Australian aged care providers can now apply to access the new Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement. The Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement streamlines the recruitment of qualified direct care workers from overseas to work in the aged care sector. Employers can use this where appropriately qualified Australians are not available. To be eligible, you need to be either someone working in Aged care sector for a minimum of 1 year with or without relevant background, or someone who just finished a relevant accredited course.
