In a fast-changing sector like chemical sciences, standards need to keep pace.

By updating the assessment criteria for Chemistry Technicians, we're helping ensure skills are aligned with what industry needs today - clear, consistent and relevant in real-world settings.

Working with industry bodies like The Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) helps keep these standards practical and up to date, supporting a more reliable and trusted pipeline of skilled professionals.

Looking for work in Australia with an overseas qualification?

One of the biggest challenges job seekers face is helping employers understand the value of qualifications gained overseas.

Our Qualification Comparison Service (QCS) provides an independent assessment of your completed qualification against the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) - giving you a clear, trusted benchmark to share with employers, recruiters, or education providers.

Why choose QCS?
• Receive a detailed report showing how your qualification compares to an AQF level
• Gain confidence when applying for jobs or further study
• Clearly demonstrate your skills and knowledge in an Australian context

Who can apply?
• Job seekers with overseas qualifications
• Professionals looking to strengthen their CV
• Anyone planning career progression or study pathways in Australia

Thinking about building your future in regional Australia? The Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs) may offer a pathway worth exploring.

These agreements give regional employers access to a wider range of occupations and provide skilled and semi-skilled workers with more flexible migration options.

DAMA pathways are employer-driven, region-specific, and designed to address real workforce needs. If you have an employer willing to sponsor you and your occupation is included in a participating region, this could be a strong route forward.
