How Australia’s Skilled Migration Points System Works

Australia uses a points-based system to select skilled migrants who can contribute to the national workforce.

Key Factors in the Points Test

  • Age
  • English language proficiency
  • Work experience
  • Education
  • State nomination

Minimum Points Requirement

Applicants typically need at least 65 points to submit an Expression of Interest. However, higher scores increase the likelihood of receiving an invitation.
