Will my Australian qualification automatically align against an occupation on the Skills Occupation List (SOL)?

The answer is no. While obtaining a recognised Australian qualification may allow you to claim points towards the Educational Qualification and Australian Study Requirement criteria, you must be able to align your qualifications against an approved occupation on the SOL. Additionally, you will require a Skills Assessment completed by an approved Skills Assessing Body. It’s important that you speak to a qualified Education and Migration agent to get the correct advice right from the very beginning.
