Australia Skilled Migration — Points Test Explained

The Australian points test assesses skilled migrants across several factors: age, English language proficiency, educational qualifications, work experience, and additional factors. A minimum score of 65 points is required to lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

Skilled Visa Subclasses

  • Subclass 189 — Skilled Independent Visa: No state nomination required; invite-only via SkillSelect; permanent residence
  • Subclass 190 — Skilled Nominated: Requires state/territory nomination (+5 points); permanent residence; generally lower invitation scores
  • Subclass 491 — Skilled Work Regional (Provisional): Requires regional nomination (+15 points); provisional for 5 years; pathway to PR via 191

Occupation Ceiling (Skilled Occupation List)

You must have a nominated occupation on the relevant Skilled Occupation List (SOL or MLTSSL). Your occupation affects which visa subclasses you can apply for, and heavily influences invitation scores in SkillSelect rounds — in-demand occupations may receive invitations at lower scores.

Frequently Asked Questions

The minimum score to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) is 65 points. However, a score of 65 is rarely sufficient to receive an invitation in SkillSelect. Competitive scores for 189 visas typically start at 85–90 points, while 190 state nominations can sometimes be obtained at lower scores.
Yes. Age is one of the most impactful factors — peaking at 30 points for applicants aged 25–32. Points decrease significantly after 33, and applicants aged 45 or older receive no age points and are generally ineligible for the skilled independent stream.
The Australian Computer Society (ACS) assesses IT professionals for skilled migration. Similarly, Engineers Australia assesses engineers, Vetassess assesses professional occupations, and TRA assesses trade qualifications. A positive skills assessment is mandatory before submitting an EOI.
