Welcome to Skill Channel Website.

Australia's General Skilled Migration Program is designed to attract people who have skills in particular occupations that are required in Australia. These occupations are listed on Australia's Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

Skilled Occupation Types:

If you want to apply to live permanently in Australia under one of the General Skilled Migration visa categories you will need to meet all of the following basic requirements:

Your occupation must be listed on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
An organisation in Australia, known as the relevant assessing authority, must assess your skills as being suitable for this occupation.
You must have a high level of English.
You must have recent skilled work experience or have recently completed an Australian qualification as the result of two years full-time study in Australia.

If you don't meet all of the above requirements, you should not apply for a General Skilled Migration visa. There may be other skilled visa options that better suit you.
