From October 2018, Engineers Australia rolling out a number of new features designed to assist Australian Registered Migration Agents with skills assessment process. The EA Portal will introduce a number of new functionality features and users at the same time have access to all previous functions. Lead Migration Agents can transfer an application from a registered agent with their agency to another registered agent within their agency using the marked button.
Engineers Australia now has access to eQuals, allowing graduates from Australian Universities to share their qualification with Engineers Australia. The eQuals account is usually created for the graduates at University. From eQuals accounts, graduates can now opt to share the documents with Engineers Australia. This allows for a quicker verification of the documents provided which should result in quicker processing times.
In the newsletter published by EA on 12 October 2018 EA addressed issues that were previously faced by many online system users, particularly the Time Out error and the Gateway error. They were plaguing customers and assessors alike and have been giving everybody a hard time:
“We deeply apologise for all the system errors that have been plaguing the application system over the last 18 months, particularly the Time Out error and the Gateway error. They were plaguing customers and assessors alike and have been giving everybody a hard time. We appreciate your patience as we work hard to rectify these issues”
