@Butterfly8i8 i think it's only for regional visas (491). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Per official document, applies to all GSM visas (refer to page 11):

<b class="Bold">The amendments introduce a revised points system for the subclass 491 visa as well as

existing General Skilled Migration visas.</b> Points are awarded for attributes that are linked

with the applicant’s ability to make the greatest economic contribution, as the key purpose of

the skilled migration program is to maximise the economic benefits of migration to Australia.

The changes to the points test are to introduce:

 more points for having a skilled spouse or de facto partner (10 points);

 more points for applicants nominated by a State or Territory government or

sponsored by a family member residing in regional Australia (15 points);

 more points for having certain STEM qualifications (10 points);

 points for applicants who do not have a spouse or de facto partner (10 points); and

 points for applicants with a spouse or de facto partner who has competent English (5

points).

@Captain_A yung points ba sa spouse for english and skill nomination is age dependent padin meaning applicable pa din yung max 45 yo for spouse/defacto?

Did you mean ifvtou need to do skills assessment again? Of course not. Skills assessment authorities do not grant points. It only assess you skills as per australian standards, it has nothing to do with points. The immigration department grants the points.

May balita na po kaya if paano mauupdate yung EOI para ikey in yung english qualificaiton ng partner? Currently kasi if hindi skilled si partner wala ng portion to put yung english qualification ni partner.

@Linetdane let’s wait for DHA to update, for sure they’ll have an official news for that::: sa ngayon prepare nyo muna docs nyo para pag may ITA na, ready to lodge na kyo.. Goodluck

Professional Year points

DHA have confirmed that the professional year points will only be awarded for occupations in the same first 4 digits as a coding of the following occupation groups as follows ...

information technology graduates
accounting graduates
engineering graduates

DHA reply .. "Thank you for your recent enquiry to the department of Home Affairs regarding allocation of points for graduates of the Professional Year (PY).

The 6D PI is currently being reviewed in anticipation of the commencement of the new 6D points on 16 November, however, consistent with what is currently in the 6D procedural instruction in regards to closely related occupations located under ‘Assessing employment claims’ then ‘Closely related occupations’, PY points will be awarded to closely related occupations within the same 4-digit unit group."

This suggests that professional year points cannot be used for an Occupation such as External Auditor which has a different 4 digit ANZSCO coding. We are trying to confirm ...

DHA just confirmed .. so must be in the same first 4 digits ANZSCO coding. So External Auditors and others cannot claim professional year points in their EOIs.
