Yes. Higher English test results (Proficient or Superior bands, depending on the test) attract more points than the Competent band required for eligibility. Many applicants elect to retest before submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI), to improve their overall score.

The points test applies to the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189), Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491). Employer-sponsored, family, partner and protection visas are assessed differently.

Yes, and this is significant. Points claimed at invitation generally need to remain valid at the time the visa application is lodged. A change in circumstances, such as a change in relationship status, can affect both the points of score and the application. A migration lawyer should be consulted if circumstances change during the process.

Study completed in Australia that meets the Australian study requirement can contribute points, and study undertaken in a regional area may add further points. Distance education generally does not qualify. A migration lawyer can confirm whether a specific course and location meets the requirement.

Skilled employment experience is employment in the nominated occupation, or a closely related occupation, at a skill level matching the requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs. Australian and overseas experience are assessed separately, and both can contribute points. An Australian migration lawyer can confirm whether a specific work history qualifies.

The Subclass 189 does not require nomination and is assessed on points alone. The Subclass 190 requires state or territory nomination, which adds points but carries a nomination commitment. The Subclass 491 requires state, territory or eligible family nomination and can add further points, but is a provisional pathway rather than an immediate route to permanent residency. Australian Migration Lawyers can advise on which pathway fits individual circumstances.

Yes. Additional points may be available where a partner meets requirements around age, English ability, qualifications and a positive skills assessment, or where the partner is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or New Zealand citizen. The exact points available depend on the visa subclass.

A minimum of 65 points is required to submit an Expression of Interest for the Subclass 189, 190 or 491 visa. Reaching 65 points does not guarantee an invitation, as many occupations currently require a higher score. A migration lawyer can advise on a realistic score for a specific occupation.

Meeting the minimum only places an applicant in the pool. Invitation rounds are competitive, and cutoffs vary by occupation and visa subclass. Options include improving the overall score, applying for state or territory nomination, or considering a regional pathway. Australian Migration Lawyers can review available options and develop an appropriate strategy.
