Update for Architects

The Architects Accreditation Council of Australia (AACA) has recently made a significant change to the Overseas Qualifications Assessment (OQA) process for architects looking to have their qualifications recognised in Australia. This change makes the process easier for applicants residing outside Australia.

Previously, applicants were required to complete a two-stage assessment process where they were required to be present in Australia for stage two (a face-to-face interview).

The new OQA process combines the two stages and allows applicants to complete the entire process from overseas, thanks to the introduction of virtual interviews. This not only means applicants can arrive in Australia with a fully recognised qualification but can also become a registered architect sooner.

If you are an architect seeking to migrate to Australia, book a consultation with one of our experienced Registered Migration Agents to discuss your visa options and eligibility today.
