Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument formally approves the Australian Computer Society’s Professional Year Program in IT as a recognised “professional year” for migration purposes. It affects international graduates of Australian IT degrees seeking skilled visas, because completing the approved program awards 5 extra points on the skilled migration points test — often decisive for receiving an invitation to apply.
