    Nomination is not a tile. 190 and 491 extras stay on the score so you can see all three at once.

    Occupation (optional)

    Does not change GSM points. Last 189 cutoff is warehouse history, not a chance score.

    FAQ

    How to read this

    Why are 190 and 491 higher?+

    The same Schedule 6D score applies to all three. State nomination adds 5 for 190. Regional nomination or family-sponsored 491 adds 15.

    Can employment points stack without a limit?+

    No. Overseas and Australian skilled employment are added, then capped at 20.

    Is 65 enough for an invitation?+

    65 is the pass mark to be in the pool. Invitations use occupation cutoffs from SkillSelect rounds. This calculator does not predict a round.

    Where do these numbers come from?+

    Migration Regulations 1994 Schedule 6D. Confirm against the current Regulations. Not DHA, not MARA, not advice.
