Skilled Migration

Skilled migration covers two broad routes into Australia: points-tested visas assessed against occupation and qualification criteria, and employer-sponsored visas tied to a job offer. Both lead to permanent or provisional residency, and the right one depends on occupation, work experience, and whether an employer is already involved.

Two routes, one goal: points-tested and employer-sponsored pathways to permanent residency.

Service Process

Your application moves through eligibility, pathway selection, documentation, and lodgement, in that order. We check each stage against current Department of Home Affairs settings before moving to the next, so nothing gets built on an outdated assumption.

The skilled migration process runs on three commitments:

We assess your occupation against the current skilled occupation list before starting your application.

We review your points and salary requirements at every stage to ensure your application remains aligned with current criteria.

We keep you informed throughout the processing of your application, with regular updates at key stages.

What's the difference between points-tested and employer-sponsored skilled visas?

Points-tested visas (Skilled Independent, Skilled Nominated, Skilled Work Regional) are assessed on age, English, qualifications, and experience, with no employer required. Employer-sponsored visas need a job offer from an approved sponsor first.

Does my occupation qualify?

Eligibility depends on whether the occupation appears on the relevant skilled occupation list, and lists differ between points-tested and employer-sponsored routes. A consultation checks this against the current list before anything else starts.

Can I apply for skilled migration while on a student or graduate visa?

Many applicants move from a student visa to a graduate visa and then to a skilled visa once they have the required work experience. Whether this applies depends on the occupation and the visa held at the time.

How long does the skilled migration process take?

Timing depends on the pathway, the occupation, and how quickly supporting documents come together. Processing times are set by the Department of Home Affairs and change regularly, so current estimates are confirmed at consultation rather than quoted here.

Service Options

Points Test

We check your background against the points settings for Skilled Independent, Skilled Nominated, and Skilled Work Regional visas. This shows exactly where you stand before you commit to an Expression of Interest.

Occupation Match

Your occupation needs to sit on the right list for the visa you're applying for, and the lists differ by pathway. We check this first, before anything else moves forward.

Employer Sponsorship

If you have a job offer, we review your employer's sponsorship status and your occupation together under the Skills in Demand visa. Both sides need to hold up, not just yours.

PR Pathway

Most temporary skilled visas lead somewhere permanent through the Employer Nomination Scheme. We plan that transition early, so you and your employer aren't scrambling as your visa nears expiry.

State Nomination

Nominated and regional visas need a state or territory to nominate you, and each one sets its own priorities. We match your occupation to the state most likely to say yes.

EOI Strategy

Your Expression of Interest sits in a ranked pool, not a queue. We help you present it well and time it against invitation rounds, so it doesn't sit unnoticed.
