General Skilled Migration (GSM) are
points tested visas which aim to permanently bring in skilled applicants who provide a boost to the Australian economy. Applicants are those aged under 45 with sufficient English ability to work in Australia. An applicant needs their qualifications/work experience to be on the current
Skills Occupation List and then to be assessed by a relevant skills assessing authority.
GSM visas consist of
Skilled Independent (Subclass 186) and
Nominated visas (Subclass 190), there are also options open to students completing tertiary education in Australia. Independent visas include more freedom but have stricter requirements. Nominated visas include nomination by a State or territory of Australia, and are less restrictive on application requirements.
