If you're considering migrating to Australia and securing permanent residency through skilled migration, the skills assessment process is a crucial first step. In Melbourne, Danfe Consulting is a trusted partner for individuals seeking professional guidance on skills assessments and pathways to permanent residency. With years of expertise in Australian immigration services, Danfe Consulting helps skilled workers navigate the complexities of visa applications, ensuring they are on the right track toward their Australian dream.
What is a Skills Assessment?
A skills assessment is a formal process used to evaluate your qualifications, work experience, and professional expertise to ensure they meet Australian standards. This is typically required for individuals applying for skilled migration visas, including the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190), and Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491).
In Melbourne, Danfe Consulting specializes in providing expert advice on the skills assessment process, guiding clients through each stage to ensure the best possible outcome.
Why is Skills Assessment Important?
A positive skills assessment is vital for your visa application to be considered by the Australian Department of Home Affairs. Without this assessment, your skilled migration application is likely to be refused. Moreover, a successful skills assessment opens up several pathways to secure permanent residency in Australia.

Pathways to Permanent Residency Through Skills Assessment
After completing a successful skills assessment, you can apply for a skilled migration visa that may lead to permanent residency in Australia. Here are the main pathways available:
1. Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189)
The Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) is a highly sought-after permanent residency visa for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, state, or family member. This visa allows you to live and work anywhere in Australia. To apply for the subclass 189 visa, you must:
- Pass a skills assessment for an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
- Be under 45 years of age.
- Meet the points test requirements (at least 65 points).
- Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect and receive an invitation to apply.
- Danfe Consulting will guide you through the EOI process, ensuring that your qualifications and work experience are properly assessed for the best chance of success in this highly competitive visa category.
2. Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)
The Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) is another pathway to permanent residency. This visa requires a nomination from an Australian state or territory government. In Melbourne, Danfe Consulting will help you understand which state or territory is most suitable for your occupation. To apply for the subclass 190 visa, you must:
- Have a positive skills assessment for an occupation on the State Nominated Occupation List (SNOL).
- Receive a nomination from an Australian state or territory government.
- Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect.
- Meet the points test requirements.
- Danfe Consulting assists clients in preparing their application for state nomination, ensuring all requirements are met to improve your chances of obtaining an invitation to apply for permanent residency.
3. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491)
The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491) allows you to live and work in a designated regional area of Australia. This is a temporary visa for skilled workers, but after three years of living and working in a regional area, you can apply for permanent residency through the Skilled Regional (Permanent) Visa (subclass 191).
To apply for the subclass 491 visa, you need:
- A positive skills assessment for an occupation on the Regional Occupation List (ROL).
- To be nominated by an Australian state or territory or sponsored by a family member.
- To submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and meet the points test.
- Danfe Consulting provides expert advice on regional areas, helping you choose the best location based on your occupation and preferences. Our goal is to make your journey toward permanent residency as smooth as possible.
4. Skill in Demand Visa (subclasses 186 and 482)
While employer-sponsored visas do not require a skills assessment for skilled migration, they can ultimately lead to permanent residency. If you secure a job offer from an Australian employer, they may sponsor you for a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482) or a Permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (subclass 186).
- The employer must nominate you and the position must be on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
- You need to have a positive skills assessment to support your visa application.
Danfe Consulting helps you identify potential employers and supports you in meeting the requirements for employer-sponsored visas, increasing your chances of transitioning to permanent residency.
