Year Approved 2025

Jonathan came to Questra ready to take the next step in his Australian career. Working as a Project Administrator, with a bachelor's degree and one year of local experience in Australia, he had the profile to pursue employer-sponsored migration. The missing piece was a skills assessment, the mandatory first hurdle on the path to a 482 Skills in Demand visa. With Questra guiding the process, his application moved from lodgement to approval in just five weeks.

What We Needed to Happen

For anyone aiming at an employer-sponsored 482 visa, the skills assessment is not optional. It is a mandatory requirement, and without it, an applicant cannot move forward to employer sponsorship.

Jonathan needed his occupation as a Project Administrator formally assessed and verified against the relevant standards. Skills assessments can be slow and document-heavy, and any gaps or errors in the application can lead to delays or refusals.

He needed his qualifications and Australian work experience presented correctly the first time, so he could move on to the next stage of his migration journey without losing momentum.

We worked with Jonathan to prepare and lodge his skills assessment as a Project Administrator through VETASSESS.

After reviewing his qualifications and experience, including his bachelor’s degree and his year of Australian work experience, we built and submitted an application designed to meet the assessing authority’s requirements precisely. The application was lodged on 23 May.

By preparing the evidence carefully and presenting it clearly, we gave the assessment the best possible chance of a smooth, fast outcome.

Jonathan’s skills assessment was approved on 28 June, just five weeks after lodgement.

With the mandatory skills assessment secured, he is now eligible to move on to employer sponsorship and pursue the Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa, the next step toward building his career and future in Australia.

His result is a reminder that even mandatory, document-heavy stages can move quickly with the right preparation and guidance.

ANOTHER WIN! Jonathan’s skills assessment APPROVED in just 5 weeks!

From application to approval:

✅ Project Administrator role
✅ Bachelor’s degree + 1 year AU experience
✅ Ready for 482 visa employer sponsorship

Skills assessments are MANDATORY for 482 visas – but with the right guidance, success is within reach!

Your Australian dream is possible.
