A skills assessment is required for Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanics migrating to Australia so they can apply for a visa to work in Australia as an Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic. The skills assessment is the way Australian Immigration can confirm that you have the relevant Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration skills to match the Australian guidelines.
Even if you don’t require the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic skills assessment for the purposes of a visa, you will need it to become a registered Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic in Australia as you require the OTSR to obtain your registration in Australia.
