Based on the link below, 6 years of work experience is needed to be considered 'skilled' for non-ICT degree holder. Any excess on top of that will be the basis for claimable points under Skilled Employment factor.
https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/7324/Summary-of-Criteria-2014.pdf
As far as I know, the '# of years' is a mere requirement and does not guarantee a positive outcome; sa Project Report yata sila magrerefer to measure the knowledge gained from and applied at work.
