Skilled Migration
Points-tested pathways for skilled workers to live and work in Australia.
Overview
What is Skilled Migration?
Skilled Migration allows eligible skilled workers to live and work in Australia through the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. Applicants submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect and may be invited to apply or be nominated based on factors such as their occupation, age, English language ability, qualifications, and skilled work experience.
Maven Consulting Group supports three skilled visa subclasses. Each has different nomination and eligibility requirements, so the right option depends on your individual circumstances.
Meeting the minimum points threshold does not guarantee an invitation or nomination. Invitation requirements and cut-off scores can vary depending on the occupation and invitation round.
