AACA Skill Assessment

Overview  

The AACA (Architects Accreditation Council of Australia) is approved authority to conduct skill assessment for the occupation “Architect” – ANZSCO code 232111. The AACA skill assessment is a pivotal process for architects seeking to practice in and migrate to Australia. It evaluates qualifications and experience to ensure alignment with Australian standards. This assessment is essential for architects aiming to establish themselves professionally in Australia, validating their expertise and facilitating a smooth transition into the local architectural industry. The positive AACA skill assessment is also one of crucial documents that needs to be submitted to Department of Home Affairs if you wish to apply for Australian point-tested visa subclasses.  

What are documents required for an AACA skill assessment?    

The documents required for a AACA skill assessment – Accredited Australian Qualification Assessment scheme – include:  

Qualification Documents:  

• Original copy of the Master of Architecture degree certificate  
• Original copy of your academic transcript  

Identification Documents:  

• Your passport  
• At least two other photo ID documents, such as: Birth Certificate, National ID card, Driver License, Student ID card, Marriage Certificate 
• Your photo when bearing your ID documents. 

If you have completed an accredited Master Degree in Architecture in Australia, then you don’t need work experience to get a positive skill assessment result.  

However, if you don’t have an accredited qualification in Australia, then you must apply for the “Overseas Qualifications Assessment” scheme, which normally requires at least 6 months of relevant, paid work experience.
