in need of some urgent advice
i have a friend who is a podiatrist and would like some info on how she would go about getting her skills assessed. she will be 45 in 6 weeks time, has she left it too late to be able to emigrate or is there still some route she can go?

Hi
i am sure you have to be under 45 when your application to dimia goes in but as you said she has to have her skills assessed first it is possible but she has to get a move on and get her skills assessment done

Your friend should look at this: http://www.apodc.com.au/Education/Ov...applicants.htm and bear in mind that as she has a MODL occupation there may be employer nomination options downstream, particularly if she can complete the APODC recognition process.

It might be possible for her to obtain a skills assessment in some other skilled occuaption and lodge a valid visa application and then POSSIBLY change her nominanted skilled occupation to podiatrist or DIMIA might do this for her.
There is another possible visa otion.
Your friend should consult a local Registerted Migration Agent immediately.
I would not try to run the case at this stage, but she might find an agent who will.
