If you desire to work in Australia with a skilled visa under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program, you have to review your chances of gaining permanent resident visa to Australia.
There is a points system in use by Australia’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) on which you are assessed. If you want to know whether you have enough points to receive an invitation to lodge application for visas (Skilled Independent, Skilled Nominated or Skilled Regional), here is the points calculator that you can use to assess your chances for qualifying.
Remember the process is very selective, Australia only chooses those people who are young, possess working skills, intelligence, qualifications and strong English language skills. People who are old, lack skills and qualifications and have language problem face rejection.
So let’s see how many points you score on the points calculator. But first things first, find out the eligibility points of each visa subclasses so that you understand what you are vying for.

If you don’t obtain enough points; there are often things you can do to improve your tally. But you cannot change age after all. For example, if you try to improve your IELTS score, wait until you have few years of experience or come to Australia for study.
You need to remember that there are various types of visas that allow to you stay in Australia rather than point-based visas. So if you don’t have enough points, there are always other ways.
Disclaimer: This point calculator should be used as a guide only. The purpose of this calculator is to indicate whether you will be eligible for migration under the Skilled Migration Program. There are other criteria that one has to meet along with the points test. Having the eligibility points does not guarantee that you will be eligible to get skilled migration visa.
