The General Skilled Migration Categories
This visa allows you to migrate to Australia if you have good English language skills and have skills and qualifications in an occupation in need in Australia. This visa uses a points test to select visa applicants with characteristics needed in the Australian labour market. You must be sponsored by an eligible relative living in Australia or obtain nomination from a participating State or Territory government agency.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- be under 45 years of age
- have the skills and qualifications that meet the Australian standard for an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL)
The SOL is a list of skilled occupations that are in need in Australia. Each occupation listed on the SOL is allocated a points value for use in the visa assessment process.
In addition, this visa requires that either:
- you, your spouse or your interdependent partner have an eligible relative living in Australia who is willing and able to sponsor you or
- you have a nomination from a participating State or Territory government agency.
All State and Territory governments in Australia are participating in this visa scheme.
