Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum eligibility requirement for the GSM program?
You must be under 45 years old, have competent English, hold qualifications in an eligible skilled occupation, receive a positive skills assessment, and score at least 65 points on the GSM points test.
Do I need a job offer to apply for a GSM visa?
No. The GSM program is designed for skilled workers who can migrate independently. However, being nominated by a state or territory (Subclass 190/491) can increase your chances and give you extra points.
How does the points system work?
Points are awarded based on your age, English proficiency, work experience, education, partner’s skills, and whether you’re nominated by a state or region. The minimum is 65, but higher scores improve your chance of receiving an invitation.
What is a skills assessment, and why is it important?
A skills assessment verifies that your qualifications and work experience match Australian standards. It’s required for your visa application and must be done by an approved authority for your occupation (e.g., Engineers Australia, VETASSESS).
Can I include my family in my GSM visa application?
Yes! You can include your spouse or partner and dependent children. If your visa is granted, they will also receive the same rights to live, work, and study in Australia.
