Short answer

Eligibility depends on the pathway.

Eligibility depends on the pathway you apply under:

  • Specialist Skills Pathway – For highly skilled professionals earning above the Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT).
  • Core Skills Pathway – For occupations listed on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) and meeting the required salary threshold.
  • Essential Skills Pathway – For workers in essential occupations sponsored via a labour agreement.

Applicants generally must also be sponsored by an approved Australian employer and meet skills, English, health, and character requirements. Eligibility can vary based on individual circumstances.
