Financial Analyst

Demand is concentrated in the Sydney and Melbourne financial sectors, with a recognised assessment pathway.

Skills assessment

For Australian skilled migration, financial analyst roles are assessed by CPA Australia or CA ANZ. A positive skills assessment is a core requirement for most skilled visas; the assessing authority confirms your specific occupation code and eligibility.

Study your way in

Many people qualify for financial analyst roles by studying in Australia first, then moving onto a graduate and skilled visa. An Australian qualification can also add points and open regional pathways.

Occupation lists, visa eligibility and assessment requirements are set by the Australian Government and assessing authorities and change regularly.
