Renewal and Reissue of Skills Assessment

    • Transition of the application process for migration and employment purposes to Online lodgement

    The AASW Migration and Eligibility and Assessment Team (MEA) is excited to announce that the migration and/or employment assessment process has moved to online lodgement via the AASW Website.

    What types of applications can be lodged online:

     

    The MEA Team is looking forward to assisting applicants and will be available to guide you through the new online process if you’re planning to migrate to Australia and need recognition as a qualified social worker for migration and/or employment purposes.

    What this means:

    • A quicker, easier application process.
    • Uploading documents online will make it easier for an applicant to submit a complete application.
    • Online applications will promote a flowing approach to the process, which is beneficial to applicants
    • Priority is placed on the type of application linked to employer recruitment demands, not how/when you apply.
    • A faster turnaround time for all applications

     

    How will it all work?

    The AASW website through a MyAASW account will be where you will link into the online process

    To assist you with lodging your application online, a series of Guides for specific types of applications have been developed. The Guide for your specific application will help you with your application.

    Paper-based applications will no longer be accepted after 26 May 2024.

    We look forward to working with you, as the MEA program moves to an online application process.

    We will let you know with further updates as to the launch of online applications via the AASW website.
