Migrant Category points threshold. Simply answer the questions below then click

This points indicator is a guide only. Its sole use is for you to get an indication of
whether you would qualify for the 100 points that you need to submit an Expression of
Interest. Your final, true points score will be the one that is assessed by our branch
staff when assessing your EOI.
Privacy note: We do not record any of your personal details when you use this points
indicator, and no selections you make at this stage will affect in any way your chances
of submitting a successful Expression of Interest. Feel free to work out any
combination of factors to see how many points we will assign.
