Skills Assessment and Points Test

The Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) involves two key steps: the skills assessment and the points test. Both are crucial to proving your eligibility and increasing your chances of success. Here’s what you need to know about each:

Skills Assessment

A skills assessment is a mandatory step for the Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190). It verifies that your qualifications and work experience meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation. Here’s what you need to know:

 

What is a Skills Assessment?

A skills assessment confirms that your skills match the requirements for your nominated occupation. It is issued by a relevant assessing authority designated for your occupation.

When Do You Need It?

You must have a valid skills assessment at the time you receive an invitation to apply for the visa. The assessment must have been completed within three years before your invitation date or within the validity period specified by the assessing authority.

How to Get a Skills Assessment

Step 1: Contact the correct assessing authority for your nominated occupation. Each authority has its own application process, timeframes, and charges.

Step 2: Complete the assessment and obtain a positive outcome. Without a positive result, you cannot apply for the visa.

Points Test

The Skilled Nominated Visa is a points-tested visa. Points are awarded for factors like age, English proficiency, work experience, and education.

Minimum Points Required

You need at least 65 points to qualify, but higher scores improve your chances of receiving an invitation.

Your points are calculated based on the information provided in your Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect.
