Your eligibility may be assessed based on your qualifications, work experience, or a combination of both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For qualifications, this requirement commonly applies to occupation groups such as Engineering, Accounting, Teaching, Nursing, Pharmacy and Social Work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For work experience, the requirement may apply to certain Trade occupations and ICT occupations under the RPL pathway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases, both qualifications and work experience are assessed. This approach is commonly applied by assessing authorities such as ACS, VETASSESS, TRA and IML.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the assessment criteria will help you identify the occupation and pathway that are suitable for your circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 2: Review Your Supporting Documents<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your nominated occupation must be supported by credible and consistent evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents used to demonstrate your work experience and professional skills may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents confirming your actual duties and responsibilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reference letters and other relevant supporting documents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents confirming your employer\u2019s business activities, organisational structure and workforce size<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents confirming your job responsibilities and level of authority<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documents demonstrating consistency between your qualifications, work experience and nominated occupation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully reviewing these documents helps ensure that the occupation you select is supported by the evidence you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23621\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23621\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23621\" src=\"https:\/\/skilldirect.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-stepts.jpg\" alt=\"3 B\u01b0\u1edbc L\u1ef1a Ch\u1ecdn Ng\u00e0nh Ngh\u1ec1V\u00e0 Chu\u1ea9n B\u1ecb Skills Assessment\" width=\"780\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skilldirect.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-stepts.jpg 780w, https:\/\/skilldirect.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-stepts-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3 Steps to Choosing the Right Occupation and Preparing Your Skills Assessment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Step 3: Choose Your Subclass 189 Strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you may be eligible for more than one occupation, you should not simply choose the option that appears easiest for obtaining a Skills Assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the occupation is eligible for the Subclass 189 visa<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent invitation round outcomes and invitation point levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The level of competition <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">within the occupation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your work experience supports the points you intend to claim<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opportunities under the Subclass 190 and 491 visas, as well as employer-sponsored visa pathways<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The occupation you choose should ensure that you can obtain a suitable Skills Assessment and progress towards permanent residency under the pathway you have planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid Choosing an Unsuitable Occupation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing an occupation that does not properly align with your circumstances may result in an unsuccessful Skills Assessment, causing you to waste application fees and delay the submission of your EOI. It may also lead to incorrectly claimed work experience points, an unsuitable visa strategy, or missed invitation rounds, which may ultimately affect your migration plans.\nTherefore, a suitable
