Check My EligibilityDoes Australia recognise Indonesian university degrees?
Skills assessment bodies (Engineers Australia, AHPRA for healthcare, CPA Australia) assess Indonesian qualifications. Degrees from state universities (UI, ITB, UGM, IPB) are generally well-regarded. The assessment process takes 2–4 months.
What English score do I need for Australia's skilled visa?
Competent English (IELTS 6.0 in all bands or PTE 50) is the minimum. Proficient English (IELTS 7.0) adds 10 bonus points to your score — a significant boost worth the preparation.
Can Indonesian healthcare workers immigrate to the UK?
Yes. Indonesian nurses and doctors regularly get Health & Care Worker visas with NHS or private hospital sponsorship. Nurses need NMC registration via the CBT and OSCE tests. Doctors need GMC registration — both are achievable within 6–12 months.
