Overseas qualifications

What you need depends on the occupation. Some occupations need registration, licensing or professional membership before you can start working, and the law can require it. In every occupation the employer decides who to hire.

• For a regulated occupation, ask the registration, licensing or professional authority for that job.
• For jobs with no specific requirements, Australian citizens and permanent residents can ask a state or territory Overseas Qualifications Unit how their qualification compares.
