Engineers applying for PR must undergo a skills assessment by Engineers Australia or another designated body. Once positively assessed, they can claim points for their educational qualification—15 for a Bachelor’s degree or 20 for a Doctorate. Skilled work experience adds up to 20 points, depending on duration and location. Engineers are regularly included on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making them eligible for independent and regional visas. Additional points may be gained through state nomination, partner skills, or completing study in Australia.
