Australia’s immigration system is based on a points test, where applicants accumulate points based on various factors, such as age, English proficiency, work experience, education, and other qualifications. Achieving a high score on this points test is crucial for receiving an invitation to apply for an Australian Permanent Residency (PR) visa, such as the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), or Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491). In this guide, we’ll break down each factor in the points test to help you understand how to maximize your score and increase your chances of securing PR.

One of the most significant contributors to your overall points score is your age. The Australian immigration system is designed to favor younger applicants, as they are likely to contribute to the workforce for a more extended period.

Proficiency in English is another crucial factor in the points test. The higher your level of English, the more points you can earn.

Your work experience, especially if it’s related to an occupation on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List (SOL), can substantially boost your points score.

Work experience within Australia is highly valued, reflecting your ability to adapt and thrive in the Australian workforce.

Experience Duration: If you’ve worked in Australia for 8–10 years in a skilled occupation, you can earn 20 points.

Why It’s Important: Australian work experience demonstrates your familiarity with the local work culture and systems, making you a more attractive candidate.

Strategies: If you’re already in Australia on a temporary visa, consider gaining as much local work experience as possible before applying for PR.

Your educational qualifications are another significant component of the points test, particularly if you hold a Doctorate degree.

If you’ve completed advanced studies in Australia, particularly in niche areas, you can earn additional points.

Australia is actively encouraging skilled migrants to live and work in regional areas, offering additional points for those who study in these locations.

Proficiency in certain community languages can earn you extra points, reflecting Australia’s multicultural society.

Completing a Professional Year program in Australia can be a valuable way to gain additional points and improve your job prospects.

State or territory governments in Australia can nominate applicants for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), which provides an additional 5 points.

If your spouse or de facto partner meets specific criteria, you can gain an additional 10 points towards your application.

If your spouse or de facto partner has competent English but does not meet the other criteria for skilled points, you can still earn an additional 5 points.

If you’re applying as a single applicant or your spouse is an Australian citizen or PR holder, you’re eligible for an additional 10 points.

Why It Matters: This category recognizes the lower potential for dependents to be a burden on the system, thereby rewarding single applicants or those with an Australian spouse.

Strategic Advantage: If your partner doesn’t meet the criteria for additional points, you might consider applying as a single applicant to gain these 10 points.

The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) allows applicants to live and work in regional Australia and offers a substantial 15 points for regional or family sponsorship.

Summery

Maximizing your points for Australian Permanent Residency requires careful planning and a deep understanding of the points test. By focusing on areas where you can improve, such as English proficiency, work experience, or education, you can significantly enhance your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for PR. Whether you’re applying independently, with a partner.

Australia, renowned for its vibrant cities, high standard of living, and vast opportunities, is a coveted destination for many looking to build a new life. Two of the primary visa options for skilled workers seeking to move to Australia are the General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa and the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. Both have unique benefits and requirements, making them suitable for different circumstances and career plans. This guide provides an in-depth comparison of these two visas, helping you decide which is the best pathway for your Australian journey.

General Skilled Migration (GSM) Visa

The General Skilled Migration (GSM) program is designed for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer but possess skills in demand in the Australian labor market. It includes several visa subclasses, with the most common being:

Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa): This visa does not require a sponsor and is based on points.

Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa): This visa requires a nomination from an Australian state or territory government.

Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa): This visa is for skilled workers who want to live and work in regional Australia

Eligibility Requirements

Skills Assessment: Applicants must undergo a skills assessment through a relevant assessing authority for their occupation.

Points Test: A minimum score of 65 points is required, based on factors such as age, English language proficiency, work experience, and education.

Occupation List: The applicant’s occupation must be on the relevant Skilled Occupation List.

Health and Character Requirements: Applicants must meet health and character requirements set by the Australian government.

Age Limit: Generally, applicants must be under 45 years of age.

Application Process Benefits

The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, also known as the Subclass 482 visa, is designed to address labor shortages by allowing employers to sponsor skilled workers from overseas. The TSS visa is divided into three streams:

Short-Term Stream: For occupations listed on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), valid for up to two years (or four years if an International Trade Obligation applies).

Medium-Term Stream: For occupations listed on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), valid for up to four years and provides a pathway to permanent residency.

Labour Agreement Stream: For workers nominated under a labor agreement with the Australian government.

Eligibility Requirements

Sponsorship: Applicants must be sponsored by an approved Australian employer.

Nomination: The employer must nominate the applicant for an occupation on the relevant occupation list.

Skills and Experience: The applicant must have the skills and experience required for the nominated position.

English Language Proficiency: Depending on the stream, applicants must meet specific English language requirements.

Health and Character Requirements: Similar to the GSM visa, applicants must meet health and character requirements.

Al Jazeera has obtained a copy of the Gaza ceasefire proposal that Hamas said it accepted on Monday. The deal, which was put forward by Egypt and Qatar, would come in three stages that would see an initial halt in the fighting leading to lasting calm and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Palestinian territory. The proposed agreement would also ensure the release of Israeli captives in Gaza as well as an unspecified number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails. Israel has said that it does not agree to the proposal but that it will engage in further talks to secure an agreement – all while pushing on with its assault on Gaza. Meanwhile, the United States, which is also involved in the negotiations, said it is reviewing the Hamas response. The basic principles for an agreement between the Israeli side and the Palestinian side in Gaza on the exchange of captives and prisoners between them and the return of sustainable calm. The framework agreement aims at: The release of all Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip, civilians or military, alive or otherwise, from all periods, in exchange for a number of prisoners held by Israel as agreed upon, and a return to a sustainable calm that leads to a permanent ceasefire and a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, its reconstruction and the lifting of the siege. The framework agreement consists of three related and interconnected stages, which are as follows: The first stage (42 days) [Herein] a temporary cessation of military operations between the two parties, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces eastward and away from densely populated areas to a defined area along the border all along the Gaza Strip (including Wadi Gaza, known as the Netzarim Corridor, and Kuwait Roundabout, as below). All aviation (military and reconnaissance) in the Gaza Strip shall cease for 10 hours a day, and for 12 hours on the days when captives and prisoners are being exchanged. Internally displaced people in Gaza shall return to their areas of residence and Israel shall withdraw from Wadi Gaza, the Netzarim corridor, and the Kuwait Roundabout: On the third day (after the release of three captives), Israeli forces are to withdraw completely from al-Rashid Street in the east to Salah al-Din Street, and dismantle military sites and installations in this area. Displaced persons (unarmed) shall return to their areas of residence and all residents of Gaza shall be allowed freedom of movement in all parts of the Strip. Humanitarian aid shall be allowed in via al-Rashid Street from the first day without any obstacles. On the 22nd day (after the release of half the living civilian captives in Gaza, including female soldiers), Israeli forces are to withdraw from the centre of the Gaza Strip (especially the Netzarim/Martyrs Corridor and the Kuwait Roundabout axis), from the east of Salah al-Din Street to a zone along the border, and all military sites and installations are to be completely dismantled. Displaced people shall be allowed to return to their places of residence in the north of Gaza, and all residents to have freedom of movement in all parts of the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian aid, relief materials and fuel (600 trucks a day, including 50 fuel trucks, and 300 trucks for the north) shall be allowed into Gaza in an intensive manner and in sufficient quantities from the first day. This is to include the fuel needed to operate the power station, restart trade, rehabilitate and operate hospitals, health centres and bakeries in all parts of the Gaza Strip, and operate equipment needed to remove rubble. This shall continue throughout all stages.

Exchange of captives and prisoners between the two sides: During the first phase, Hamas shall release 33 Israeli captives (alive or dead), including women (civilians and soldiers), children (under the age of 19 who are not soldiers), those over the age of 50, and the sick, in exchange for a number of prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centres, according to the following [criteria]: Hamas shall release all living Israeli captives, including civilian women and children (under the age of 19 who are not soldiers). In return, Israel shall release 30 children and women for every Israeli detainee released, based on lists provided by Hamas, in order of detention. Hamas shall release all living Israeli captives (over the age of 50), the sick, and wounded civilians. In return, Israel shall release 30 elderly (over 50) and sick prisoners for every Israeli captive, based on lists provided by Hamas, in order of detention. Hamas shall release all living Israeli female soldiers. In return, Israel shall release 50 prisoners (30 serving life sentences, 20 sentenced) for every Israeli female soldier, based on lists provided by Hamas.

The United Nations and its agencies, including UNRWA, and other international organisations, are to continue providing humanitarian services across the Gaza Strip. This shall continue throughout all stages of the agreement. Infrastructure (electricity, water, sewage, communications and roads) across the Gaza Strip shall be rehabilitated, and the equipment needed for civil defence allowed into Gaza to clear rubble and debris. This shall continue throughout all stages of the agreement. All necessary supplies and equipment to shelter displaced people who lost their homes during the war (a minimum of 60,000 temporary homes – caravans – and 200,000 tents) shall be allowed into Gaza. Throughout this phase, an agreed-upon number (not fewer than 50) of wounded military personnel will be allowed to travel through the Rafah crossing to receive medical treatment, and an increased number of travellers, sick and wounded, shall be allowed to leave through the Rafah crossing as restrictions on travellers are lifted. The movement of goods and trade will return without restrictions.

And that's just phase one. Read the rest of the article for the rest of the ceasefire proposal approved by Hamas.

My name is ihab, I am from Gaza, I am a 38-year-old father of four children , My story began on the 7th of October 2023. After this date I lost everything (my home, my work , my car), My family, and I went of hell as shelling and bombing haven't stopped even for one day. But this series of suffering couldn’t stop.

1- My children as the UN schools of my children were demolished, and there is no way for them to study again in Gaza. As important point my children were genius students and their dreams faded away.

2- I lost my own company . that I built step by step , IT company and workplaces .MY company had free workshops for serve society to decrease unemployment through freelancing .

3- I lost my warm and beautiful house. which bombed and destroyed

We got out miraculously to EGYPT, But we are suffering in EGYPT , and life couldn’t continue smoothly with us because we haven’t Egyptian residency . according to Egyptian granting laws , there for :

1- MY children can’t go to schools and complete their education . I can’t stand their question about when they can go to school as others , two years without education.

2- I can’t have chance to work in Egypt and have a job , My family is suffering from decreasing of basic needs of life (home, food, supplies, and medical necessities)

To stop this suffering we must leave EGYPT to any country that give Palestinians the residence as Turkey, Malaysia, Oman …atc through the residency I can work and my children continue their education .

How do I register to vote if I’m going to college in a different state than my home state?

Did you know that you can still register to vote even if you are living in a different state than where your ID is registered? About 1 in 5 university students attend an out-of-state college, which is a very large amount of potential voters. Here is information for college students on getting registered to vote:

Register for an absentee ballot - this is a mail in ballot that would allow your vote to count in the state you are originally from. This is a good option for temporary residents of their college state, but permanent residents in their home state

Every state has different residentry requirements, Depending on your state, you may be considered a resident by living there for college, which would allow to register in that state
