Sorry for another question. For my wife as dependent, do I still need to submit her employment docs like COE? Or enough na yung EMI w/ Diploma and TOR?
I got confused on the partner skills on the document checklist but I haven't assessed here skills for our points so my understanding is no need for her employment documents?
TIA!

From DIBP website:
Eligible child
To include a child as migrating with you in your visa application, the child must:
•be your child or a stepchild from a current or a previous relationship (in certain circumstances);
•not be married, engaged to be married, or have a de facto partner; and must be: 1. under 18 years of age
or
2. over 18 years of age but not yet turned 23, and be dependent on you or your partner
or
3. over 23 years of age and be unable to earn a living to support themselves due to physical or cognitive limitations and be dependent on you or your partner (Note: The child will still need to meet Australia’s health requirement)
or
4. a dependent child of a child who is eligible under 1, 2 or 3 above.
Your child or stepchild is considered to be dependent if they continue to be wholly or substantially reliant on you for their basic needs (food, clothing and shelter). Acceptable documents that can show a parent-child relationship include:
• a certified copy of each child’s birth certificate
or
• a certified copy of adoption papers.
Some visas require that the child has never been married or in a de facto relationship.
