Australian Computer Society (ACS) Skills Assessment Review

The following information is for General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa applicants who: • lodged their application on the basis of a skills assessment by ACS in the Australian Standards Classification of Occupations (ASCO) occupation of Computing Professionals NEC prior to 1 July 2010 and subsequently sought a further skills assessment (this may be known as a review, a revalidation or a new skills assessment) from the ACS to determine their skilled occupation under Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO).

ACS allows applications for further skills assessments following the announcement of the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) in ANZSCO that came into effect on 1 July 2010. The review is offered by ACS in light of this change to determine if the materials submitted for the original skills assessment could receive a skills assessment for an occupation classified under ANZSCO. If ACS assess an applicant as suitable against an ANZSCO occupation, solely on the basis of the materials provided for the original skills assessment, the department will prioritise the GSM application based on that ANZSCO occupation. If you have lodged an online application, to notify the department of this information please attach your further skills assessment to your GSM visa online application, then email it with the subject title ‘ACS review’ and your file reference number.
