Migration Skills Assessment
The Migration Skills Assessment Program (MSA) is for applicants applying for a permanent skilled migration visa in occupations and countries not covered by Registered Training Organisations (RTO) approved by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA).
Chefs are currently on the medium and long-term strategic skills list offering permanent skilled migration opportunities to Australia.
If your qualifications are obtained overseas, you are required to obtain a skills assessment to meet the skills required for a skilled migration visa in Australia.
If you wish to apply for a skilled migration visa, we can assist you in the process of getting a skills assessment to support your visa application.
