The Australian Computer Society (ACS) have announced that, from 15 January 2014, skills assessments issued to recent Australian graduates will only be valid for the purposes of a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) application. Recent graduates wishing to obtain a full skills assessment for a GSM application (Subclasses 189, 190 and 489) will need to demonstrate one year of post-qualification work experience relevant to their occupation or completion of a Professional Year (PYear) in Australia. The Professional Year program for recent Australian ICT graduates is also run by the ACS.
