Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)

A permanent skilled visa without state or employer sponsorship. You must meet the eligible occupation rules, hold a valid skills assessment, be under 45 when invited and have at least Competent English. The statutory SkillSelect threshold is 65 points, but invitations are competitive and the June 2026 round ranged from 65 to 100 points by occupation; an EOI does not guarantee an invitation.
