General Skilled Migration to Australia
The purpose of the Skilled Migration Program is to attract highly employable people for migration to Australia. It is the most common form of migration to Australia, and it is one of the core areas of Acacia’s expertise.
Acacia recognizes that your skills are of great value to Australia!
There is a wide range of points-tested, family-sponsored, state-sponsored skilled visa subclasses. Choosing the right occupation in which to apply for skills assessment is critical, and can affect your points score and eligibility for state-sponsored options Acacia has handled applications for all skilled migration subclasses and most skills assessing authorities and we can assist you in navigating the options to reach a successful outcome. At Acacia, we have successfully lodged a large number of visas for clients who were told by other migration agents that they would never succeed!
"I wanted to write you a few words of thanks for your help in getting the Permanent Residence Visa for my family and me. What from time to time seemed like an impossible mountain to climb, became a hassle free and efficient process. Your expertise and integrity is second to none, and looking back at the whole process, I don’t think we could have done anything better or different."
