*From 1 July 2022, applicants for a 485 visa will no longer require a skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority. They will instead be able to apply directly to Department of Home Affairs for the visa itself. As a result of this, many skills assessing authorities will not accept new skills assessment applications for candidates applying for this visa from 10 June 2022.
