Migration assessments are
based on a candidate’s undergraduate academic qualification.
Candidates whose undergraduate qualifications would allow them
entry to the Institute as a Probationer member will be
classified as “Suitable” and be entitled to the full 60
points under the Skilled Migration Category.
The Institute charges a fee of $350.00 for a Skilled
Migration Assessment. Applications are usually processed within
one month of receipt of the application.
Membership of the Institute is not a pre-requisite to apply
for a Skilled Migration Assessment, but qualifications must be
at the entry level of Probationer membership.
Current Probationer and Corporate members need only contact
the National Office for a free assessment as their
qualifications have already been through the assessment process.
Minimum entry standards to Probationer grade and also
eligibility for a Skilled Migration Assessment are:
age over 21,
hold an Australian degree in quantity surveying (refer
to the Tertiary Course Guide)
or

Surveying qualifications at degree level accredited by AIQS,
