How the Australian PR Points Test Works

General Skilled Migration (GSM) to Australia operates on an invitation-only points-based framework. Eligible applicants must first reach the minimum threshold of **65 points** to lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect. However, due to high competition, actual invitation cut-offs are frequently higher, meaning strategically maximizing your score is critical.

Age Allocation

Points are allocated based on your age range on the day you receive an invitation. The highest tier (30 points) is awarded to applicants aged 25 to 32.

English Language Capability

While Competent English offers 0 points, achieving Proficient English (IELTS 7 / PTE 65) awards 10 points, and Superior English (IELTS 8 / PTE 79) secures a vital 20 points.

Skilled Work History

Points are claimed for relevant post-qualification work onshore and offshore. Australian work experience is weighted higher, up to a maximum combined total of 20 points.

Partner Qualifications

Single applicants receive 10 points automatically. Married/de facto couples can claim 10 points if the partner meets skilled and English criteria, or 5 points for English alone.

Important Visa Strategy: Securing state nomination under Subclass 190 grants 5 points. Regional state or family nomination under Subclass 491 grants a significant 15 points, heavily boosting competitive profiles.
