Skilled migration in Australia is a dynamic visa pathway designed to attract talented individuals with essential skills that align with the country’s economic and regional development needs. This program caters to skilled professionals, tradespeople, and graduates, offering opportunities to live and work in Australia while contributing to its workforce.
As immigration experts, we assist clients with a range of skilled migration visas, including: Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa, a points-tested visa for individuals not requiring sponsorship; Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa - for those nominated by an Australian state or territory; Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional Visa which encourages skilled professionals to work and live in regional Australia; Employer-Sponsored Visas (e.g., Subclass 482 Skills in Demand) and Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Visa that supports regional businesses in hiring international talent.
To qualify for skilled migration, applicants typically need a positive skills assessment in an occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list, be under 45 years of age, and achieve a minimum of 65 points on the points test based on factors like age, English proficiency, and work experience. Additionally, they must meet health and character requirements, demonstrate competent English (e.g., via IELTS or PTE), and, for certain visas, secure state/territory nomination or employer sponsorship, with regional visas requiring a commitment to live and work in designated areas.
For those seeking to settle in Australia, skilled migration offers not only professional growth but also pathways to permanent residency and Australian citizenship. Whether you’re looking to build your career in vibrant metropolitan cities or thriving regional hubs, we are here to ensure every application is handled with precision, tailoring our advice to meet your unique circumstances. Let us guide you on your journey to a successful life in Australia.
