The Skilled Visa to Australia is for skilled individuals or families who want to migrate permanently and contribute to filling critical skill shortages across the country.

​

Part of the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program, these visas are points-tested and may be granted as independent, State/Territory sponsored, or family-sponsored permanent visas.

​

The Skilled Occupation List determines which professions are eligible to apply for permanent residency under the GSM pathway.
