Skilled Migration

Australia offers a range of visa options for skilled workers in occupations that benefit the country's economy. The skilled migration visa programs use a points-based system to assess applicants. Points are awarded based on different factors such as age, English language ability, work experience, education credentials, etc. Applicants are required to show they have a minimum of 65 points to be able to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). The higher the applicant's points, the higher the chances of being invited to apply for the visa. 

 The EOI does not guarantee an invitation but is necessary for skilled migration pathways. After submitting an EOI, you must wait for an invitation from the Department of Home Affairs before formally applying for a visa. This competitive invitation process ensures visa places go to applicants who meet Australia's economic and labour market priorities. 

Gaining sufficient points and lodging an EOI are key steps in pursuing skilled migration to Australia. Invitation wait times vary depending on occupation demand, points score, and program caps.
