Increase your chances of a job offer in Australia
Have your qualifications and employment history listed on our Skill
Matching Database. The database is accessed by employers and State
and Territory governments who may then nominate you for migration. A
key advantage is that you may find a job before arriving in
Australia.

The Skill Matching Database helps match skilled
people who have applied to migrate with skilled vacancies or skill
shortages in Australia.
The Skill Matching Database contains the educational, employment and
work details of skilled migrants and includes many who are
interested in living and working in regional Australia.
The database is used by employers for employer sponsored migration
categories as well as by State and Territory governments.
To be included on the Skill Matching Database, applicants must have
a valid application for one of the following visa categories:
Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175)
Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176)
Skilled – Independent (Residence) visa (subclass 885)
Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) visa (subclass 886)
There is no application charge for applicant details to be listed on
the Skill Matching Database.
Applicants who have their details on the database are not guaranteed
a job in Australia or migration application approval.
Most visa applicants remain on the database until they arrive in
Australia. The details of pooled applicants will remain on the
database for a period of two years.
Note: The Skill Matching Database is not a job search facility.
