What do I do if I gained my qualification and/or skills in a country outside Australia, and would like to obtain a licence in Australia?
Before obtaining a licence in Australia, it is necessary to have your skills assessed and recognised. The best place to get this information is from the Australian Skills Recognition Information website at http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/index.htm. This site will help you find out how to get an assessment of occupational qualifications, skills or experience that you have gained overseas. You can also find state-specific licensing and registration requirements to practice your occupation in Australia.
