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.
