General Skilled Migration
The General Skilled Migration program is for people who are not sponsored by an employer and who have skills in particular occupations required in Australia. Applicants must be over 18 and under 45 years of age, with good English language ability, and recent skilled work experience unless they recently completed an eligible Australian qualification. Applicants must also have skills and qualifications for an occupation listed on Australia's Skilled Occupation List. From 1 September 2007, the Department of Immigration has implemented changes to the General Skilled Migration programme. Other changes have been introduced to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the GSM programme.
