Australia PR Points Calculator: How to Maximise Your Score

Australia's skilled migration points test scores age, education, work experience, English proficiency and a handful of other factors on a scale most invitation rounds currently clear somewhere between 65 and 90+ points, depending on the occupation and program.

Age carries the single heaviest weight — applicants between 25 and 33 score the maximum available points, which is worth knowing before you delay lodging a skills assessment.

A Superior English result (typically IELTS 8 in each band or equivalent) can add significantly more points than a Proficient result — for many borderline profiles, retaking the test is more effective than waiting for another invitation round.

Skilled employment points accrue both onshore and offshore, but only for experience matched precisely to your nominated occupation on the skilled occupation list. We run a full points calculation before you commit to a skills assessment fee.
