New Points Test
On 1 July 2011 a new points test for skilled migrants came into
effect.
Please visit DIAC's FAQs on the new points test.
A detailed fact sheet on the introduction of the points test is
also available on DIAC's "What's New? Recent Changes in Skilled
Migration" webpage:
www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/whats-new.htm.
The fact sheet provides information on the process for awarding
points under the new points test, including advice when seeking
points for qualification and skilled employment purposes.
Applications lodged to DIAC before 1 July 2011 for a GSM visa
will be assessed against the current points test.
