Every occupation in the list has its own skill assessing authority. Trade occupations are assessed by the TRA (Trade Recognition Australia) or the VETASSESS (Vocational Educational and Training Assessment Services) The  Institute of Managers and Leaders (IML), through its entity IML National, is an assessing authority approved by the Department of Home Affairs for assessing immigration candidates who have applied for senior-level managers within Australia and New Zealand.
