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.
