Australia Immigration Points Calculator 2026
Planning your move from Doha to Australia? The first step toward your Australian Permanent Residency (PR) is understanding your points score. Under the 2025–2026 Migration Program, the Australian Government has set a ceiling of 185,000 places, prioritizing skilled professionals who can contribute to the economy.
To be eligible for a Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189), Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190), or Skilled Work Regional (Subclass 491), you must reach a minimum of 65 points. However, for competitive sectors, most invitations from Qatar are currently being issued to candidates scoring higher points.

How is your Australia PR Score Calculated?
The Australian points system is designed to assess your “employability” and “adaptability.” Here is the breakdown of the factors that determine your success:
Age (Max 30 Points): The “sweet spot” for migration is between 25 and 32 years old, which grants the maximum points.
English Language Proficiency: While “Competent English” (IELTS 6/PTE 50) is the baseline, scoring Superior English (IELTS 8/PTE 79) adds a massive 20 points to your profile.
Skilled Employment (Overseas): If you are working in Qatar’s booming tech, oil and gas, or construction sectors, you can claim points for your experience outside Australia (up to 15 points for 8+ years).
Educational Qualifications: A recognized Bachelor’s or Master’s degree typically grants 15 points, while a PhD grants 20.
Partner Skills: If your spouse is also a skilled professional with a positive skills assessment and competent English, you can gain an extra 10 points. Single applicants also receive 10 points.

Why did the calculator give me 0 points for my English test?
To claim points for English, you must score at least "Proficient" (IELTS 7.0 or PTE 65). While "Competent English" (IELTS 6.0 or PTE 50) makes you eligible to apply, it does not add any points to your total score. For maximum impact, aim for "Superior English" to gain 20 points.
