The Department of Home Affairs has introduced significant updates to the skilled migration points test in 2025. These changes affect a wide range of visa subclasses, including the popular 189, 190, and 491 visas.
Key updates include revised weightings for age, English proficiency, work experience, and study qualifications. Applicants over 45 continue to be ineligible, while those aged 25-32 receive the highest allocation.
