Australia Points System
The immigration system of Australia has been designed to attract skilled professionals from around the world, foster the country’s economic growth, and fill out the critical skill shortage gap. Here, the role of the Australian Points System becomes much more essential and crucial.
These tools evaluate a candidate's profile in terms of age, educational qualification, professional qualification, and other relevant factors. The succeeding discussion will explain how a point system works, which various factors affect scores, and its implication in skill migration visas.
What is the Australian Points System?
The Australia Point System is used to assess candidates who seek Skilled Migration Visas, such as Subclass 189, subclass 190, and Subclass 491 .
A minimum score of at least 65 points can qualify for application, though scoring points on the scale below generally have a better chance of receiving an invitation to apply (ITA).
Scores are given to candidates based on different factors, such as age, proficiency in the English language, work experience, and other qualifications.
Points at a glance
Age (maximum 30 points): 18–24 years: 25; 25–32: 30; 33–39: 25; 40–44: 15.
English language (maximum 20 points): Competent English: 0; Proficient: 10; Superior: 20.
Skilled employment (maximum 20 points combined): Australian work — 1–3 years: 5; 3–5 years: 10; 5–8 years: 15; 8–10 years: 20. Overseas work — less than 3 years: 0; 3–5 years: 5; 5–8 years: 10; 8–10 years: 15. Combined Australian and overseas work experience is capped at 20 points.
Education (maximum 20 points): Doctorate: 20; Bachelor's or Master's degree: 15; Diploma or trade qualification: 10; recognised qualification: 10.
Australian study (maximum 10 points): Masters by research or PhD in a STEM field: 10; meeting the Australian study requirement: 5.
Regional study (5 points): study in a designated regional area: 5.
Community language (5 points): accredited community language (NAATI): 5.
Partner (maximum 10 points): partner with skills assessment and competent English: 10; partner with competent English only: 5; single applicant, or partner who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident: 10.
Professional Year (5 points): completed Professional Year program: 5.
State or territory nomination (maximum 15 points): Subclass 190 nomination: 5; Subclass 491 nomination: 15.
65 points is the minimum to lodge an Expression of Interest — it is not a guarantee of an invitation or a visa grant.
Worked example — 70 points: age 25–32 (30 points) + Proficient English (10) + Bachelor's degree (15) + overseas skilled work of 5–8 years (10) + partner with competent English only (5) = 70 points.
