There are two pathways for the engineer skills assessment, these being:

An Australian engineering qualification, or
An overseas engineering qualification that is recognised through a formal agreement with engineering accreditation bodies in other countries
For overseas qualifications there are two pathways:
The Washington Accord, which deals with undergraduate professional engineering programs https://www.ieagreements.org/accords/washington/signatories/
The Sydney Accord, which deals with engineering technologist programs https://www.ieagreements.org/accords/sydney/signatories/
Non-recognised Qualification – this requires the submission of a Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) This detailed report must include qualifications attained, the application of engineering experience and knowledge, and how competency standards of the relevant engineering classification in Australia have been met.
