1. Occupations assessed by AIMS

AIMS is the migration assessing authority for Medical Laboratory Scientist (ANZSCO 234611) and Medical Laboratory Technician (ANZSCO 311213). Choose the occupation that matches your qualification level, training and duties rather than the job title printed by one employer.

2. Stage 1 documentary assessment

AIMS-accredited Australian programs and other qualifications are assessed under the applicable current criteria. Applicants with non-accredited qualifications undergo detailed documentary assessment. The outcome depends on academic content, laboratory training and other required evidence.

Transcript മാത്രം മതിയാകാതിരിക്കാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്. Subject syllabus, practical content, internship or clinical training details എന്നിവ university-ൽ നിന്ന് നേരത്തെ ശേഖരിക്കുക.

3. Professional examination

Where the documentary assessment makes an applicant eligible for the professional examination, the exam covers seven disciplines: Anatomical Pathology, Chemical Pathology, Genomic Pathology, Haematology, Immunopathology, Medical Microbiology and Transfusion Science.

Do not assume every overseas BSc MLT graduate automatically sits the exam. AIMS first assesses the individual application against its guidelines.

AIMS Assessment Details for 2026

To pass the Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS) assessment, your portfolio must strictly adhere to the guidelines. The professional exam covers a broad range of pathology disciplines, so plan your preparation carefully using the official AIMS study guide.

Processing Times & Fees

AIMS currently aims to complete assessments within 16 weeks, although document verification may take up to six months. Fees for the assessment and examination are regularly updated, so check the AIMS website. Ensure all your laboratory experience is backed by verifiable employer references and detailed duty statements.

4. Documents and English evidence

Prepare identity documents, degree certificates, full transcripts, subject information, employment evidence and compliant translations. Follow AIMS instructions for certification and direct institutional documents where required.

AIMS updated its guidelines in March 2026 and directs applicants to Home Affairs for current English-test scores. Read the latest guidelines rather than relying on old score tables copied online.

5. Assessment versus employment

An AIMS migration assessment supports visa processes. It does not guarantee a visa or a laboratory job. Employers may separately assess local experience, technical competence, safety training and role-specific requirements.
