Australian Skilled Visas are for formally qualified, experienced individuals. The purpose of Australia’s Skilled Migration Program is to attract highly employable people for migration to Australia to fill local Skills Shortages. Applicants are assessed against their nominated occupation, age, English language skills, academic qualifications and work experience.

To find out if you are eligible to apply for an Australian Skilled Visa, follow two simple steps with ILM Australia:

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭:
Email a 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 copy of your resume/cv (include your full date of birth) to:

[email protected]

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮:
Once we have received your details we will assess and examine your eligibility. This includes an assessment of your academic qualifications and your work experience to determine whether you meet Australian standards for your nominated occupation.
If you are assessed as eligible to apply for Australian Skilled Migration we will explain all the legal processes involved, including our legal fees and the Australian Government fees (all fees will be advised).

A new Ministerial Direction No 99 will commence on 3 March 2023. This Direction revokes Direction 90 Visa refusal and cancellation under section 501 and revocation of a mandatory cancellation of a visa under section 501CA 15 April 2021.

Under Direction 90 the strength, nature and duration of ties to Australia were considered under other considerations, under this new Direction 99 this has now been added as a primary consideration under Part 2 Section 8, with the effect that these considerations should generally be given more weight by decision-makers.

The principles under Subsection 5.2 have also been amended with the following paragraph added under 5.2(5):

With respect to decisions to refuse, cancel, and revoke cancellation of a visa, Australia will generally afford a higher level of tolerance of criminal or other serious conduct by non-citizens who have lived in the Australian community for most of their life, or from a very young age. The level of tolerance will rise with the length of time a non-citizen has spent in the Australian community, particularly in their formative years.

Are you a permanent resident visa holder and travelling overseas this holiday season?

Make sure you check the validity of your travel facility prior to arranging travel overseas.

A travel facility allows a permanent visa holder to re-enter Australia, typically within five years from the date your permanent visa was granted. After 5 years, your travel facility expires.
