General Skilled Migration

Points-tested, independent and state-nominated pathways for skilled workers, without needing an employer sponsor.

Overview

Migrate on your skills, not a job offer

General Skilled Migration covers the points-tested visa subclasses — independent (189), state or territory nominated (190) and provisional (491) — for workers whose occupation is in demand.

We run a full points assessment, help you maximise your score honestly, and manage the skills assessment and Expression of Interest (EOI) process from start to finish.

Who this pathway is for

  • Skilled workers with an occupation on the relevant list
  • Applicants wanting to migrate without employer sponsorship
  • Those weighing up state nomination versus independent pathways
  • Points-borderline applicants needing a clear strategy
