Migration Regulations 1994

At the time of invitation to apply for the visa:

the relevant assessing authority for the applicant’s nominated skilled occupation had assessed the applicant’s skills as suitable for that occupation; and

the assessment was not for a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa; and

if the assessment specified a period during which the assessment was valid, and the period did not end more than 3 years after the date of the assessment—the period had not ended; and

if paragraph (c) did not apply—not more than 3 years had passed since the date of the assessment.

If the assessment was made on the basis of a qualification obtained in Australia while the applicant held a student visa, the qualification was obtained as a result of studying a registered course.
