Skilled Migration

Skilled migration, explained clearly

If you have skills and experience in an occupation Australia needs, a points-tested skilled visa may let you live and work here without an employer sponsor. We help you understand where you stand and prepare your application.

We are a Registered Migration Agent (MARN 2619548). We give advice and prepare and lodge applications on your behalf. We do not issue visas — every visa decision is made by the Department of Home Affairs.

Before you apply

Skills assessment & points

Most skilled visas need a positive skills assessment from the right authority and an Expression of Interest. We help you plan this first.

Requirements, occupation lists, fees and processing times are set by the Australian Government and change often. We check the current rules for your case before anything is lodged.

Common questions

Can you guarantee my visa will be granted?

No. Nobody can. As a registered migration agent we give advice and prepare your application carefully, but every decision is made by the Department of Home Affairs.

How many points do I need?

The pass mark and the scores that receive invitations change over time. We work out your current points and explain what could improve them.

Can Western Australia nominate me?

Possibly. WA runs its own state nomination program with its own occupation lists and requirements. We check whether you qualify at the time you apply.
