More than a place to study

Australia welcomes skilled migrants through programmes such as the Skilled Independent (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visas. Studying in Australia can help you build local qualifications, work experience and English skills that count towards these pathways.

PR is never automatic. It depends on your occupation, skills assessment, points and the invitations available each year. Part 2 explains how the system works.
