Skilled Migration - SkillSelect

SkillSelect is the program which allows skilled professionals and tradespeople to immigrate to Australia independently.

SkillSelect operates on an Expression of Interest (EOI) basis.

Anyone interested in immigrating to Australia under the SkillSelect program must lodge an Expression of Interest and wait for an invitation before they can apply for a SkillSelect visa. To be eligible for a SkillSelect visa applicants must have a qualifying occupation and score a minimum of 65 points in the new Points Test.

SkillSelect Points Test points are awarded for age, qualifications, work experience and a range of other factors.

EOI’s from all qualifying candidates are placed into a pool and the candidates with the highest points score in the SkillSelect Points Test receive invitations first to apply for a SkillSelect visa.
