For your qualifications to be considered relevant, they must:

  • Be issued by a CRICOS registered RTO.
  • Be completed in Australia.
  • Match the Nominated Occupation you selected for your PSA application.
  • Be dated before the date of application.

You can check if your Qualification is relevant to your Nominated Occupation on the Australian Qualification By Occupation page.

In our Online Portal, please upload:

  • Passport identification page.
  • Evidence of name changes (if applicable).
  • Your Australian qualification certificate relevant to your Nominated Occupation.
  • Your complete academic transcript, including:
    • All subjects or units studied.
    • Results for each unit.
    • The date you commenced your studies in Australia.

If your qualification was completed under a different name or contains credit transfers (CT), please upload all relevant supplementary evidence with your application:

  • A copy of your old passport.
  • Transcripts for any previous studies that has been used for credit transfer on your completed qualification.
  • A copy of your USI (Unique Student Identifier) report containing all your Australian study.
