Could someone provide guidance on renewing a skills assessment with Engineering Australia?

 To renew your skills assessment with Engineers Australia, follow these steps:

Renewal Process Overview

1. Eligibility for Renewal: You can renew your skills assessment after three years from the date of your initial positive assessment. It is crucial to initiate the renewal process before your current assessment expires, as expired assessments cannot be renewed.
2. Accessing the Portal: Log in to your Engineers Australia (EA) MyPortal account. This is where you will manage your application and renewal process.
3. Initiate Renewal:
   • Select the Migration Skills Assessment (MSA) option or the relevant stage one assessment.
   • Navigate to the section that allows you to view details of your previous application.
4. Review Previous Application: Check the details of your earlier assessment to ensure all information is accurate and up-to-date.
5. Submit Required Documents:
   • You will need to provide identification documents and educational qualifications for verification.
   • Ensure that any additional qualifications or work experience acquired since your last assessment are included.
6. Payment: Complete the renewal process by making the necessary payment as specified in the portal.
7. Confirmation and Outcome Letter: After submission, you will receive an updated outcome letter via email, which will be valid for another three years for migration purposes.

Important Considerations

• Validity of Assessment: While Engineers Australia’s assessments do not expire, the Department of Home Affairs requires that the assessment letter be no older than three years at the time of applying for a visa.
• Documentation: Make sure all documents are current and accurately reflect your qualifications and experience. If you have new qualifications or work experience, include them in your renewal application.
• Contact Support if Needed: If you encounter any issues or have specific questions regarding your application, consider reaching out to Engineers Australia or consulting with a migration agent who specializes in skills assessments.

By following these steps, you can successfully renew your skills assessment with Engineers Australia, ensuring that you remain eligible for skilled migration opportunities in Australia.
