The skilled migration points test
Every factor that earns you points - and how we lift your score.
About this visa
Skilled migration scores you across a range of factors, and because invitations go to the highest-ranked candidates, every point counts. Understanding where your points come from is the first step to a successful application.
Points are awarded for factors including your age, English ability, qualifications and skilled work experience, with additional points for state or regional nomination, a skilled partner, local study, specialist STEM qualifications, community-language credentials and a Professional Year.
We assess every factor in your profile and look for legitimate ways to increase your total before you enter the pool. You can try the instant estimator on the Skilled visas page to see an indicative score.
