Hi,

I was in Australia on hols earlier this year and loved it so now I'm thinking of going over on a skilled migrant visa. I'm a qualified ACCA accountant for past 2 years and while looking at the visa requirements it says I need to get my qualification assessed by a recognised accountancy body in australia. i thought ACCA was recognised in australia automatically but obviously not.

Has anyone done this and if so is it a hard process? Secondly is there many accounting jobs in australia at the min? Really appreciate any responses.
