Australian new immigration point calculator
The Australian points-based immigration system is used to assess the eligibility of skilled workers for permanent residency in Australia. The system is based on a points test, where applicants are awarded points for their skills, qualifications, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors.
Here is a general outline of the Australian points-based immigration system:
Points Table:
- Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189):
- 65 points for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer or family member
- Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190):
- 60 points for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government
- Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) Visa:
- 60 points for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible relative living in a designated regional area
Points are awarded for:
- Age: 15-30 points (depending on age)
- English language ability: 10-20 points (depending on language proficiency)
- Qualifications: 10-20 points (depending on qualifications and field of study)
- Work experience: 5-15 points (depending on length and type of work experience)
- Study in Australia: 5 points (if you have completed a degree or higher in Australia)
- Job offer: 5-10 points (if you have a job offer in Australia)
- Regional study or work: 5 points (if you have studied or worked in a regional area of Australia)
- Partner skills: 5 points (if your partner has skills and qualifications that are relevant to the occupation)
- Community language: 5 points (if you have a community language that is relevant to the occupation)
How to calculate your points:
- Determine which visa subclass you are applying for (189, 190, or 491).
- Check the points table to see how many points you can score for each factor.
- Add up your points to see if you meet the minimum points requirement for your chosen visa subclass.
- If you meet the points requirement, you can submit your application to the Australian Government.
Note: The points system is subject to change, and the Australian Government may adjust the points requirements or factors at any time. It's essential to check the official Australian Government website for the most up-to-date information on the points-based immigration system.
Here is a sample points calculator:
Age: 25 (15 points) English language ability: Proficient (10 points) Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (15 points) Work experience: 3 years of relevant work experience (10 points) Study in Australia: No (0 points) Job offer: No (0 points) Regional study or work: No (0 points) Partner skills: No (0 points) Community language: No (0 points)
Total points: 50
In this example, the applicant has 50 points, which is above the minimum points requirement for the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189). However, please note that this is just a sample calculation, and the actual points required may vary depending on the visa subclass and other factors.
