Welcome to our guide on the Australian skills assessment process for an Environmental Manager.

The skills Assessment of an Environmental Manager determines their eligibility to emigrate and the visa options available.

Ensuring Environmental Managers Are In High Demand
Every skilled migrant wants to know they will be able to secure a job quickly and easily when they are in Australia. The Australian emigration system ensures that they can.
Each year, State Governments and the two territorial Governments report to the federal government on their local demand for Environmental Managers and if they need to bring in Environmental Managers from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas an Environmental Managers required in the coming year to fill the skills gap within each region.
The Skills in demand are then broken down into priority lists. These lists range from those skills in high demand across the country to those skills with only limited demand within rural areas.
Curently, Environmental Managers are on the MLTSSL list. Being on this list means an Environmental Manager may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
- 186, 189 (PT), 190, 407, 485 (GW),491 (F), 491 (S/T), TSS (M), 494

It is important to note that the primary purpose of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership Limited is to make a profit and protect their current members from migrants entering Australia, taking their members’ jobs, and driving down standards or wages.
