Building points for skilled-migration permanent residency

Skilled-migration residency is points-tested, which is good news: it means the outcome is largely within your control. Knowing where points come from lets you plan deliberately.

The main point categories

• Age — younger applicants typically score more
• English ability — a higher test score lifts your total
• Skilled work experience — both overseas and local
• Qualifications — and any further study completed

Where nurses gain ground

Improving an English score or accumulating local skilled experience are two of the most reliable ways to add points. Even a single band improvement can change your eligibility.

The nurses who reach residency fastest treat points as a project from day one. We build your personal points roadmap so every decision moves you closer.
