• Be invited to apply
• Be younger than 50 years of age when you are invited to apply
• Nominate an occupation that matches your skills and qualifications and is on the relevant skilled occupation list
• Have your skills assessed by the relevant assessing authority as suitable for your nominated occupation • Have at least competent English • Score at least 60 on the points test

Preparation for the application – Skill Assessment, IELTS, State Sponsorship
Once we know that your occupation is in the skilled occupation list, and you have at least one year of work experience, you can find out relevant assessing authority for that occupation. To understand the skill assessment procedure you will have to visit the websites of the assessing authorities. You will have to appear for IELTS exam and score at least 6 in each band in the module. For claiming points for your English language skill you will have to have at least 7 bands in each module.

Once we you have received your skill assessment report, and IELTS score you are ready to submit the ‘Expression of Interest’ (EOI).
