If you are a senior-level manager planning to migrate to Australia, an IML ANZ Assessment may be an important part of your skilled migration journey. The Institute of Managers and Leaders Australia and New Zealand (IML ANZ) is an Australian Government-appointed assessing authority responsible for assessing the qualifications and professional employment history of eligible senior management professionals for skilled migration purposes.

An IML ANZ Assessment is a formal Migration Skills Assessment for eligible senior-level management occupations. IML ANZ assesses both your educational qualifications and employment history against the requirements applicable to your nominated occupation. A positive assessment can be used as part of the broader skilled migration process, although the assessment itself does not guarantee a visa outcome.
IML ANZ currently assesses nine senior management occupations, including Chief Executive or Managing Director, Corporate General Manager, Sales and Marketing Manager, Advertising Manager, Public Relations Manager, Human Resource Manager, Engineering Manager, Supply and Distribution Manager, and Procurement Manager.
Choosing the correct occupation is therefore an important first step. Your qualification, position responsibilities, employment history, organisational structure and evidence should collectively support the occupation you nominate.
An IML ANZ Migration Skills Assessment is generally relevant to applicants whose nominated occupation falls within IML ANZ’s assessment scope and who are applying for an Australian skilled migration pathway that requires a skills assessment.
Before lodging an application, it is important to confirm that:
IML ANZ specifically advises applicants to check whether it is the appropriate assessing authority before applying.
The assessment considers both qualifications and employment experience. IML ANZ states that its process evaluates higher education qualifications and employment history, with employment evidence assessed across the applicant’s career and particular emphasis placed on recent experience.
Your application may require evidence such as:
Employment evidence needs to demonstrate more than simply a managerial job title. The responsibilities you performed, level of authority, organisational structure and management responsibilities are important when presenting your professional history.
IML ANZ assesses a specific group of senior management occupations under the relevant ANZSCO classifications. Current occupations listed by IML ANZ include:
Chief Executive or Managing Director – ANZSCO 111111
Corporate General Manager – ANZSCO 111211
Sales and Marketing Manager – ANZSCO 131112
Advertising Manager – ANZSCO 131113
Public Relations Manager – ANZSCO 131114
Human Resource Manager – ANZSCO 132311
Engineering Manager – ANZSCO 133211
Supply and Distribution Manager – ANZSCO 133611
Procurement Manager – ANZSCO 133612
The correct occupation should be selected according to your actual qualifications and professional experience rather than simply choosing an occupation because your job title appears similar.
Employment evidence is one of the most important parts of an IML ANZ Assessment. Your application should clearly establish where you worked, your position, employment period, responsibilities and level of management.
The current IML ANZ application process asks applicants to provide employment information including their position title, organisation, appointment dates, business address, country, organisational size, number of subordinate managers, number of staff reporting to them and details of their immediate superior.
Applicants may also need referees who are not related to them. Referees may be contacted by IML ANZ to verify the information provided in the application.
This is why your employment documentation should be accurate, consistent and professionally prepared. Differences between your CV, employment references, application forms and other evidence can create unnecessary concerns or delays.
The IML ANZ Migration Skills Assessment process can be approached through several important stages.
First, determine whether your nominated occupation is within IML ANZ’s current assessment scope. This prevents applicants from submitting an application to an authority that does not assess their occupation.
Once the occupation is confirmed, review the relevant qualification and employment requirements. Your evidence should demonstrate how your background aligns with the nominated occupation.
Gather your academic and employment documents carefully. Incomplete or inconsistent evidence can delay assessment processing.
IML ANZ accepts Migration Skills Assessment applications online. Supporting documents are submitted as part of the application process.
IML ANZ evaluates the submitted qualifications and employment evidence. A successful assessment produces a positive outcome that can be used in the relevant skilled migration process.
Fees and processing times can change, so applicants should always check the latest information before lodging an application.
According to the current IML ANZ information, the standard Migration Skills Assessment fee is A$788 for applicants outside Australia and A$866 including GST for applicants within Australia. The listed express assessment fee is A$998 outside Australia and A$1,097 including GST within Australia. IML ANZ also lists revised fees effective 21 September 2026, including A$820 for the regular assessment outside Australia and A$902 including GST within Australia.
The current standard processing timeframe is listed as approximately 10 weeks for a regular assessment and 6 weeks for an express assessment, provided a complete application and supporting documentation are received. Incomplete applications may take longer.
Because fees and processing times can change, applicants should verify the applicable amount and timeframe immediately before submission.
Preparing an IML ANZ application can be challenging, particularly when you need to demonstrate senior management responsibilities through detailed employment evidence.
At SkillAssessmentHelp, our assistance focuses on helping applicants prepare a structured and evidence-based application. We can assist with:
Our goal is to help you present your qualifications and management experience clearly while ensuring that the information you provide remains accurate and supported by genuine evidence.
If an applicant receives an outcome that does not fully reflect their circumstances, IML ANZ provides options including review, reassessment, appeal and renewal, subject to the applicable requirements and time limits.
A reassessment can be requested within 12 months of the original assessment decision in relevant circumstances. For example, applicants may seek reassessment for a different but similar occupation or ask for certain employment positions to be reconsidered. A review may be available for an unsuitable outcome, while appeals are independently assessed by VETASSESS.
A successful IML ANZ assessment is currently valid for three years from the date it was issued.
An IML ANZ Assessment is an important step for eligible senior management professionals seeking skilled migration opportunities in Australia.
