Australia skilled visa document checklist for early preparation.

Evidence commonly needed

• Passport, identity documents and family documents for people included in the application.
• Skills assessment evidence from the relevant assessing authority where required.
• English language test results and expiry date details.
• Employment references, payslips, contracts, tax records or other work history evidence.
• Qualification certificates, transcripts and professional registration records if relevant.
• Points worksheet showing age, English, work, study and other claimed factors.

Risk checks

• Make sure claimed work experience lines up with occupation definitions and assessment evidence.
• Check whether documents are expired, inconsistent or missing translations.
• Do not assume a points estimate means an invitation or visa grant is likely.
• Ask an advisor about state nomination, occupation list changes and timing risk.
