While the minimum is 65 points, competitive rounds typically require 70-85+ points depending on your occupation. We help maximize your points through strategic planning including partner skills, professional year, and NAATI credentials.

Different visa subclasses use different occupation lists. While Subclass 189 requires MLTSSL occupations, state-nominated visas (190/491) often have broader occupation lists. We'll assess all available pathways and may recommend alternative visa options like employer sponsorship if skilled migration isn't viable.

No! Subclasses 189, 190, and 491 do not require a job offer. These are points-tested visas based on your skills, qualifications, and experience. However, having Australian work experience can boost your points significantly.
