Which assessing authority handles a skills assessment? The answer depends on the nominated occupation and the visa pathway. This episode explains the Department of Home Affairs' published occupation list, the Post-Vocational Education Work stream of the subclass 485 visa, and why a provisional 485 assessment does not serve as a points-tested skilled visa assessment. Sources checked 18 October 2026.
