About the Engineers Australia Skill Assessment
Engineers Australia (EA) is the peak engineering body in Australia and the designated skills assessing authority for engineering occupations under the Department of Home Affairs. A positive EA assessment is a mandatory prerequisite for engineers seeking skilled migration visas including the Subclass 189, 190, and 491.
Engineers Australia assesses engineers at three levels: Professional Engineer (PE), Engineering Technologist (ET), and Engineering Associate (EA). Your level is primarily determined by your highest engineering qualification.
