International
WorldSkills Australia is part of an international WorldSkills movement. Every two years we send a highly trained team, the Skillaroos, to compete against 86 member countries for the title of the world’s most skilled country at an International Competition.
The Skills Squad emerge from the National Championships as Australia’s best young skilled apprentices and trainees. From here the elite Skillaroos are selected forming part of Team Australia that will go on to compete internationally.
Past competitors are invited to become a WorldSkills Australia Alumni, and join a network of professionals who act as inspirational role models delivering careers advice to young people.
OATHS TEAM AUSTRALIA
Before our Skillaroos and their experts depart to compete internationally, they all have to take an oath declaring their intention to participate in the WorldSkills International event while upholding the ethics and code of conduct set by WorldSkills International:
Competitors Oath

Experts Oath
“In the name of all Experts I promise that we will officiate with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the Code of Ethics and Conduct, the Competition Rules, and the WorldSkills values of integrity, fairness, and transparency – all in the true spirit of WorldSkills.”
