189 Visa Eligibility Check Australia

Are You a Strong Candidate?

189 Visa Eligibility Check Australia

You’re likely a strong 189 candidate if:

  • Your occupation is on MLTSSL and receiving regular invitations
  • You have (or can obtain) a positive skills assessment
  • You have Proficient or Superior English (7.0+ or 8.0+ IELTS equivalent)
  • You have 3+ years of skilled work experience
  • You’re under 45 years old
  • Your estimated points score is 65+ (competitive range)

You may need strategic guidance if:

  • Your points are borderline
  • Your occupation isn’t in demand
  • Your work experience isn’t relevant
  • Your English score is holding you back
  • You’ve never gone through the skills assessment process

You should consider alternative pathways if:

  • Your occupation is not in the skilled occupation list
  • You’re over 45 years old
  • Your points score is below 65
  • You can’t obtain a positive skills assessment

Points Strategy & Skill Select EOI Assistance for 189 Visa

Meeting the 65-point minimum doesn’t guarantee success. The 189-point assessment is complex, and invitation trends matter. Expert 189 Visa EOI assistance helps because strategy is more important than just being eligible.

Why 65 Points Is Not Enough?

While 65 is the minimum, actual points required depend entirely on your occupation and current demand trends:
Reality Check: August 2025 Invitation Round→ Trades: 65–70 points
→ Healthcare: 80–85 points
→ Education: 85 points
→ STEM & Professional: 90–110 points
→ IT Occupations: Zero invitations (market saturation)
189 visa points assessment reveals whether your score is genuinely competitive.

How Strategy Matters?

Points alone don’t guarantee success. You need a strategic approach to occupation selection, timing, and optimisation.
→ Occupation selection based on invitation data, not just eligibility
→ Timing your EOI to avoid long tie-break delays
→ Points optimisation (partner skills, superior English, NAATI)
Professional EOI assistance for 189 visa ensures you’re positioned competitively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions. If you still need help, feel free to contact our team.

What is GSM visa 189?

GSM visa 189 is a points-tested permanent resident visa.

Can I add my partner to my 189 visa?

You sure can! You can include your partner and your dependent children in your application. This means your whole family can move together and get permanent residency at the same time you do. We recommend adding them before the final invitation.

What is the age limit for a 189 visa?

You must be under 45 years old when the government invites you to apply for this visa. If you turn 45 before you get that invitation, you won’t be allowed to move forward with your application.

Can we live anywhere in Australia with a 189 visa?

Yes, after the visa grant. You can live anywhere you want. Since this visa is independent, you aren’t tied to any specific state. You can choose to live in big cities like Sydney or move to a quiet town in the countryside.

Will I get Medicare while my 189 visa application is being processed?

Some bridging visas may allow Medicare in certain cases, but it is not automatic; you need to check your eligibility with Medicare directly.

Do I need a job to apply for a 189 visa?

No, you don’t need a job or an employer to sponsor you. This visa is called “independent” because it’s based entirely on your own skills, education, and work history, not a specific company.

Is sponsorship required for subclass 189 visa Australia?

No, it does not require employer or state sponsorship.

Skilled workers with high points and listed occupations.
