General Skilled Migration (GSM) General Skilled Migration (GSM) is a point-based pathway for skilled workers, both offshore and onshore. It assesses candidates based on their qualifications, work experience, and skills. The GSM includes various visa subclasses such as 189, 190, and 491, which allow individuals to live and work in Australia either permanently or temporarily.

Partner (subclass 309, 100, 820, 801) Partner visas allow individuals to live in Australia with their Australian partner or spouse. These visas are designed for those in genuine relationships, whether as married couples or de facto partners.

Employer Sponsor (subclass 482, 494, 186) Employer-sponsored visas let Australian employers recruit skilled workers from overseas and Australia to fill labour shortages.

Skills and education assessments are vital steps for individuals aiming to migrate to Australia under skilled migration programs. Some assessment bodies are ACS, VETASSESS, Engineering Australia, TRA etc. These assessments verify that an applicant’s qualifications and work experience meet the standards required for their nominated occupation in Australia.
