🟢 Tier 1 — Critical health/medical · Highest priority · Most invitations · Invited at lowest points
🔵 Tier 2 — Education, mental health, community · Moderate steady invitations
🟡 Tier 3 — Engineering, trades, science, construction · Standard allocation
🔴 Tier 4 — Oversupplied (ICT, accounting, hospitality) · Fewest 189 invitations · Consider 190/491 instead MLTSSL = eligible for 189+190+491 · STSOL = 190/491 only (not 189)

Official DHA points score (2026)
Complete the categories below
Age at Time of Invitation
Age is assessed at the date of invitation, not EOI submission. If a birthday falls between EOI and invitation, the new age applies.
English Language Proficiency
IELTS scores required (all 4 bands):
Superior English = 8.0+ in every band → 20 pts
Proficient English = 7.0+ in every band → 10 pts
Competent English = 6.0+ in every band → 0 pts (minimum eligible, no points awarded) PTE Academic: Superior = 79+, Proficient = 65+, Competent = 50+
Note: As of Aug 7 2025, remote-proctored tests are not accepted.
💡 IELTS 7→8 adds 10 points — highest single boost available to most applicants
Educational Qualifications
Official DHA point allocations:
PhD / Doctorate = 20 pts
Masters degree = 15 pts (same as Bachelor under DHA rules — many calculators get this wrong)
Bachelor degree = 15 pts
Diploma or trade qualification = 10 pts
Points are only awarded for qualifications assessed as relevant to your nominated occupation.
Overseas Work Experience
Important rules:
• Must be in your nominated skilled occupation (or closely related)
• Must be at least 20 hours per week, paid employment
• Only experience in the last 10 years counts
• Combined cap: Overseas + Australian work experience cannot exceed 20 points total
Australian Work Experience
Australian experience scores more per year than overseas. Combined overseas + Australian total is capped at 20 pts. Same rules apply: nominated occupation, 20+ hrs/week paid, last 10 years.
⚠️ Your overseas + Australian work experience exceeds the 20-point cap. Your work experience total has been capped at 20 pts as per DHA rules.
Partner / Spouse
Skilled partner (10 pts) — Partner must be: included in your application + hold a positive skills assessment in an eligible occupation + have competent English + meet age requirements. Single / partner is Aus citizen or PR (10 pts) — Also 10 pts. Partner without skills assessment (0 pts) — No points if partner doesn't meet the criteria.

All states use merit-based selection. Points alone do not guarantee nomination. NSW does not publish a cutoff — they select based on occupation, employment evidence and sector alignment. An accountant with 80 pts has near-zero chance at NSW 190.
