🎓 Step 2: Get your skill assessment ! 🏆
Obtain a skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your occupation. This step confirms that your qualifications and experience meet Australian standards for your occupation. There are a number of skill assessing bodies in Australia like Engineer Australia or Vetassess, being the largest Skill assessing body of Australia. One can check his/her Assessing body from the following link: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skills-assessment
🗣️ Step 3: English Language Proficiency
Take an English language test (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic) and achieve the required minimum score for the visa subclass you are applying for. Generally PTE is considered easier than all other English tests for Australian GSM.

🎓Step 5: Points Calculation and Invitation 🎓
Your EOI will be ranked based on your points score. If your points score is high enough and your occupation is in demand, you may receive an invitation to apply for the visa.
💼Step 6: State/Territory Nomination (Subclass 190 and Subclass 491) 🏞️
If you are applying for Subclass 190 or Subclass 491, you need to be nominated by a state or territory government agency.
