Australia Points Calculator

About Australia Points Calculator

The Australia Points Calculator is a specialized tool designed for skilled professionals seeking to migrate to Australia under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. This program, which includes the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491), uses a points-based system to select candidates with the skills and attributes needed by the Australian economy. Our calculator follows the official Department of Home Affairs criteria, accurately awarding points for age, English language proficiency, skilled employment (both in Australia and overseas), and educational qualifications. It also includes sections for unique Australian requirements like the Professional Year, NAATI CCL certification, and specialist STEM education. By identifying your total points, the tool helps you determine if you meet the minimum pass mark of 65 points and assesses how competitive your profile is for an Invitation to Apply (ITA). This calculator is an essential first step for anyone looking to build a new life in Australia through their professional skills.
