A New Life in Australia
General Skilled Migration (GSM) is the umbrella for Australia’s permanent and provisional visas awarded to skilled workers on the basis of merit — not an employer or family sponsor. Selection runs through a single, transparent points-tested system administered via SkillSelect.
You lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI), score points against fixed criteria, and the Department of Home Affairs issues invitations to the highest-ranking candidates in periodic invitation rounds. A positive skills assessment for your nominated occupation is the gateway to the entire program.
Truvia’s role is strategic: we identify the subclass and state that best fit your profile, then engineer your claim to extract every legitimate point available.
Calculate My Points ScoreEvery GSM application follows the same five-stage journey. We manage each stage end to end.
You must reach at least 65 points to be eligible, but competitive invitations frequently require 85–95+. Small, strategic gains — a higher English band, a partner assessment, or a regional nomination — often decide the outcome.
Australia’s most sought-after skilled visa — a permanent residence visa granted purely on points, with no employer or state sponsorship. It offers complete freedom to live and work anywhere in the country.
A permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory. Nomination adds an automatic 5 points and is ideal for applicants who need a small boost to become competitive.
A 5-year provisional visa for skilled migrants willing to live and work in regional Australia. It carries the largest points bonus in the program and leads to permanent residence via the Subclass 191 after three years of regional residence and income.
The 491 runs in two distinct streams — choose the one that matches who is supporting your application.
Nominated by a participating state or territory government to address skill shortages in designated regional areas. The most common route into the 491.
Sponsored by an eligible relative who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident living in a designated regional area — no state nomination required.
