Skilled Migration

SKILLED PROFESSIONALS AND TRADESPEOPLE

We draw on our experience to assess your visa options and advise on pathways to move to or remain in Australia. These include permanent visa options for people who are not sponsored by an employer, but possess skills in occupations that are high in demand nationally or in a particular State or Territory.

Skills Assessments

All Skilled visas require a formal assessment of skills called a Skills Assessment. This is generally a paper-based assessment. For some occupations, the Skill Assessment can be more complex than the visa process itself, and we highly recommend seeking advice. We routinely assist clients with these applications to all authorities including VETASSESS, Engineers Australia, Trades Recognition Australia, CPA/CAANZ/IPA, ANMAC, AITSL and the Australian Computer Society.

Expression of Interest

The Expression of Interest (EOI) is the key statement of skills, qualifications and employment history, and the basis for calculating points for the Skilled visa. We can ensure that you claim all the points you are entitled to, to give you the best chance of securing an invitation and obtaining the Skilled visa.

State Nomination

If you are seeking State/Territory Nomination to support your Skilled visa application, we can assist by advising of the state’s specific requirements, and guiding you through the application process. The State/Territory rules change frequently, and we recommend up-to-date advice on how these rules benefit you.

Skilled visa application

Once you have your Skill Assessment, State/Territory nomination and/or an invitation based on points, we get to the good bit, lodging your application for a permanent or 5-year provisional Skilled visa. As we ensure that all the stages to this point have been done properly, getting the Skilled visa should be a breeze!

Temporary Graduate (485) visa

The Temporary Graduate (485) visa can help bridge the time between your Student visa and a permanent visa in Australia. This pathway allows you to gain Australian work experience, which is key to opening up further options to live and work in Australia. The Temporary Graduate (485) visa has two streams:

Graduate Work stream allows international students who have completed their qualification (and are able to fulfil the requirements for an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List) to remain in Australia for up to 2 years
The Post-Study work stream is open to international student who complete a qualification in a higher education field. This visa can be granted for up 2-4 years depending on the qualification obtained

This visa pathway has specific requirements at the time of application which should be followed to avoid issues.

Training (407) visa

The Training (407) visa allows you to undertake workplace-based occupational training activities to improve your skills for your job, area of tertiary study, field of expertise or in a professional development training program in Australia.

For an assessment if these options are suitable for you, please tell us about yourself for schedule a consultation.

  Thank you Hammond Migration.
Had a great experience with James and Shane.
Thanks James and Shane for helping me with my visa process.
Shane was dealing with my case, he is amazing, I can’t really thank him enough.
Met James when i was on AAT because of previous refusals and was planning to move to Canada after being hopeless to see any future in Australia but they made it.
Highly recommend this wonderful team.
Excellent service.

  I dare say they are the best immigration lawyers we know, before they were presented to us we hired others who called themselves "experts" but none of them managed to solve our problem.
Hammond Migration assisted us wonderfully, from the beginning to the end of the process, always very polite and attentive to all the details of the process and with a very quick response time to our queries.
My family and I feel very safe trusting them with our process, 5 star service although I would say they deserve more stars for their competence.
My family and I thank you James, Shane, and your entire team for your excellent service.

We strongly recommend them to anyone looking for serious and competent professionals.
