Basic
Requirements
For General Skilled Migration to Australia, you or your spouse must be
able to satisfy the following basic requirements :
Age : You must be under 45 when you apply.
English Language : You must have sufficient ability in the English language for working in Australia. This is known as " Vocational English ". You are encouraged to have your English Language ability tested before you apply.
Qualifications : You must have post-secondary (such as university or trade) qualifications (in some cases substantial relevant work experience may be acceptable).
Nominated occupation : When you apply you must nominate a skilled occupation which fits you skills and qualifications. Your nominated occupation must be on the skilled occupation list. If your nominated occupation is not on the list you cannot apply.
Recent work experience : If your nominated occupation is worth 60 points (see the points score for your nominated occupation), you must have been in paid employment in a skilled occupation for at least 12 of the 18 months before applying.
If your nominated
occupation is worth 40 or 50 points, you must have been in paid employment
in a skilled occupation for at least two of the
three years before you apply.
In the skill Matching or Skilled-Regional Sponsored categories you may be
eligible with less work experience .
Australian qualification exemption - You do not need to meet the work experience requirement if you have completed an Australian qualification less than 6 months before lodging your visa application. If you intend taking advantage of this concession you should note that the 6 month period begins from the date of completion of qualification, and not from the date the qualification was conferred.
Skills assessment : Before you apply, you must have had your skills assessed by the Australian assessing authority for your nominated occupation. (To be granted a visa, your skills must have been assessed as suitible for your occupation.)
If you are not able to satisfy these basic requirements, you should NOT continue with a General Skilled Migration application.
