Skilled Visa Points Calculator
The Skillselect Visa program is for people who would like to migrate to Australia as Permanent Residents. To be eligible to be invited to apply for one of the visas listed below from the Skillselect program, you must:
- Be under 45 years of age;
- Successfully complete a skills assessment in your nominated occupation;
- Have at least competent English; and
- Score at least 65 points on the Points Test.
The first thing you will need to know is what the ANZSCO code is for your occupation. The simplest way to do this is to google "ANZSCO" and your occupation. For instance if you are a plumber, then google "ANZSCO plumber" - you will find a six digit number which is your ANZSCO code - a plumber is ANZSCO 334111, so you would enter "Plumber ANSZCO 334111".
