Points Based System
You are awarded points for your age.
Before you apply you should provide evidence of your age, for example, by your birth certificate.
- English language ability:
Your English language ability must meet a threshold of "Competent" to be eligible to apply for a visa under the General
Skilled Migration program. This is a minimum of 6 in each of the four components of the English Language Testing System
(IELTS).
You are awarded points for employment experience in a skilled occupation, either in Australia or another country. You
must have experience in your nominated occupation or an occupation that is closely related to earn points for skilled
employment. Deck & Engineer Merchant Navy Officers job are listed in the Australian Skilled Occupation List.
You can claim points for Australian skilled employment as well as overseas skilled employment, where applicable. You will
be awarded points based on verifiable evidence of skilled employment history undertaken in the last 10 years as follows:
Skilled employment within Australia:
Skilled employment outside of Australia:
You can combine skilled employment earned within Australia and skilled employment earned overseas, however the
maximum number of points you can score for this criteria is still 20 points. Click for Australian Skilled Occupation List.
- Educational qualifications:
You are awarded points for the highest qualification that you have attained. For example, if you have obtained both a
Bachelors Degree and a Doctorate Degree, you can only claim points for the Doctorate Degree.
Qualifications earned overseas must be recognised as comparable to the relevant Australian level qualification. This will
usually be verified during the skills assessment for your nominated occupation. Note that you may also be able to claim
points for a qualification unrelated to your nominated occupation.
Australian qualifications:
You can be awarded 5 points if you have completed an Australian qualification from an Australian educational institution.
You must have earned the qualification from an Australian institution while you were in Australia. The course of study must
have been at least two years in length.
Before applying you should obtain a certified copy of your qualifications, if you claim points for this factor.

metropolitan area" in Australia.

closely related occupation. A Professional Year is a structured professional development program which combines formal
training with on-the-job experience.

skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority.
Before submitting a migration application you should obtain proof that your spouse satisfies the basic requirements and
obtain a skills assessment for your spouse's skills from the relevant assessing authority.
