Australia's proposed points test changes the game for skilled migration.

If you care about how Australia picks who gets to stay and work here, take a close look at these three tables from Grattan Institute.Here's what stands out.The new proposed points test shifts focus hard toward three things: younger migrants (21 to 29 get maximum age points), excellent English (IELTS 8+ jumps to 90 points), and partner skills (up from 8% to 18% weighting).But the biggest addition? High-paying Australian work experience. That category didn't exist before. Now it takes 18% of the total points pie.The case studies in Table 2.5 tell the real story. A 28-year-old management consultant with a skilled partner scores 450 points and is guaranteed a visa. A 24-year-old truck driver with the same English level? Doesn't even qualify. Not because of age, but because of degree, skill level, and earnings.A 25-year-old graduate accountant with very good English sits at 280 points, which puts them in the eligible bucket. But a 26-year-old single nurse with excellent English scores 360, comfortably eligible.The message seems clear: Australia wants younger, highly skilled, well-paid migrants with qualified partners. Trades and lower-skilled roles struggle to compete.
