The main visas in this category are:
   

Most of these visas are points tested. You must be under 45, have a nominated occupation which is approved, as well as work experience. Most occupations require a formal qualification, and this is assessed by the relevant authority.

Points are awarded primarily for age, qualifications, work experience and English language ability. Additional points are given for Australian experience, the applicant's spouse's occupation and experience, if the applicant has an Australian educational qualification, and if the nominated occupation is in demand. For an occupation in demand, a job offer gives even more points.

Bonus points are given if the applicant holds an approved qualification that was taught in a designated language, or is a professional interpreter or translator in a designated language.

Less points are required if the applicant is sponsored by a near relative. A near relative is a parent, brother or sister, aunt or uncle, or child. A grand-parent or first cousin can also sponsor the applicant if they reside in a designated area.
