Qualification and partner conditions

Only your highest qualification counts. Overseas Bachelor, Master and Doctorate qualifications must be of a recognised standard. An assessor-recognised award must be suitable for your nominated occupation.

A skilled partner must apply for the same subclass, be under 45 at invitation, have Competent English and a suitable skills assessment (not a subclass 485 assessment) in an occupation on the same relevant list. Partner English points require a partner applying for the same visa. Neither partner category applies to an Australian citizen or permanent resident partner; choose the first option instead.

English proficiency

Your level is based on all four test components.

+10 pts
