If you’re an Electrical Engineer planning to move to Australia, your migration journey doesn’t begin with a visa application. It begins with a skills assessment.

Before applying for subclasses like 189, 190, or 491, your qualifications and engineering experience must be formally evaluated. For Electrical Engineers, the assessing authority is Engineers Australia.

And this is where many applicants start to feel unsure.

Will my electrical engineering degree be recognised? Do I qualify under the Washington Accord pathway? Do I need to prepare a Competency Demonstration Report (CDR)? How detailed should my project documentation be?

These concerns are completely valid — and addressing them correctly can prevent serious delays or rejections.

Migration Skills Assessment ensures that overseas-qualified Electrical Engineers meet Australian professional standards under ANZSCO 233311. If your qualification is not accredited under international agreements, you’ll likely need to submit a CDR that clearly demonstrates your engineering competencies through real projects and documented experience.

This isn’t just paperwork.

It’s a structured evaluation of your technical ability, problem-solving skills, and professional responsibility as an engineer.

In this guide, the full Electrical Engineer assessment process is explained clearly — including eligibility pathways, required documents, CDR structure, assessment stages, processing timelines, and the most common mistakes that weaken applications.

The focus is not on shortcuts. It’s on compliance, clarity, and presenting your engineering experience professionally and ethically.

If your goal is skilled migration, professional recognition, or building a long-term engineering career in Australia, understanding your Electrical Engineer skills assessment requirements is the foundation of your success.
