Following the liquidation of the Geospatial Council of Australia, a new assessing authority has been appointed.
👉 Institution of Surveyors NSW (ISNSW) is now the official assessing authority for Surveyor (ANZSCO 232212)
✔️ Applies to visa applications from 8 October 2025 (including undecided applications)
✔️ No need to redo skills assessments if already completed with GCA
✔️ Ensures applicants are not disadvantaged by timing delays
Also clarified:
👉 ACS and VETASSESS remain assessing authorities for certain occupations (incl. 224999)
💡 Key takeaway:
This is a technical but important update ensuring continuity and fairness for applicants impacted by the GCA liquidation.
