Do you want to become a certified accountant in Australia?

If you are an accountant and are planning your migration to Australia, there is a key update you cannot ignore: CA ANZ (Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand) is now part of the processes we support at SkillsPRO for Skills Assessment Australia in accounting occupations.

This change raises the assessment standard, but it also opens a significant opportunity for those who prepare correctly and receive expert guidance.

Below, we explain what CA ANZ is, why it matters, what has changed in the process, and how SkillsPRO supports you step by step to submit a strong, well-structured application.

What is CA ANZ and why is it key for accountants?

Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) is one of the most prestigious professional accounting bodies in Australia and New Zealand.

With recent updates to Skills Assessment Australia, CA ANZ has consolidated its role as an assessing authority for various accounting occupations, applying criteria aligned with the current Australian professional market.

This means your assessment will focus on:

• Specific academic content

• Alignment between studies and work experience

• Clear and verifiable employment evidence

• Properly presented and translated documentation

It is no longer just about holding a degree, but about demonstrating that your profile is relevant to Australia.

Accounting occupations assessed by CA ANZ

CA ANZ assesses, among others, the following occupations:

• Accountant (General)

• Management Accountant

• Taxation Accountant

• External Auditor

• Internal Auditor

All of these occupations are part of Australia’s skilled migration programs, which means a positive skills assessment is a key requirement to move forward with points-tested or sponsored visas.

CA ANZ raises the standard (and the risk of errors without strategy)

With CA ANZ, the most common mistakes include:

• Applying without confirming that your academic curriculum meets the requirements

• Submitting poorly described or misaligned work experience

• Using non-certified translations

• Failing to align the skills assessment with a specific Australian visa pathway

The usual outcome is:❌ A negative result❌ Loss of time and money❌ A blocked migration strategy

That’s why a skills assessment should never be done alone or without a clear plan.

The critical role of NAATI-certified translations

CA ANZ does not accept informal translations.All documents not originally issued in English must be accompanied by NAATI-certified translations, including:

• Degrees and diplomas

• Academic transcripts

• Employment reference letters

• Contracts and references

At SkillsPRO, we work closely with Entrelingo Translations, ensuring your documentation is not a weak point, but a strong professional asset.

Before starting your CA ANZ Skills Assessment, ask yourself:

• Does my education meet CA ANZ content requirements?

• Is my work experience well structured and aligned?

• Are my documents complete and correctly translated?

• Is this skills assessment aligned with the visa I plan to apply for?

If any of these answers are unclear, it is not the right time to apply yet.

CA ANZ + SkillsPRO = strategy, structure, and clarity

The arrival of CA ANZ is not an obstacle—it’s a quality filter.Those who prepare strategically move forward with an advantage.

A positive skills assessment with CA ANZ:

• Strengthens your profile as an accountant

• Opens doors to skilled visas

• Brings you closer to permanent residency in Australia
