Claim Spouse Points

Hi All,

I am new to this forum. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have 55 points for 189 and 190 visa. Planning to claim spouse points. My spouse is a physiotherapist with 2+ years of experience. If we want to claim 5 points does she need to get the complete license from Australian physiotherapy board or just need evaluation is enough? One of my friend told me if she wants to work as Physio then only need to clear the complete license process other wise no need for points claim.

If any one gone through this kind of experience before, please share your experience and help.

Thanks in advance.

    As per the info in the DIBP page for visa 189, looks like your partner needs to undergo English and skills assessment for you to be able to claim points for your spouse.

    https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-
    Partner skills

    You can receive five points if, when you are invited to apply for this visa, your partner provides evidence that they:
    - were under 50 years of age
    - had at least competent English
    - had nominated an occupation on the same skilled occupation list as your nominated occupation
    - had been assessed by the relevant assessing authority as having suitable skills for the nominated occupation.

    Positive skills assessment will suffice. She'll need to licence when she's there so she can be employed in that occupation. Note that SkillSelect these days are issuing invites for 189 applicants with 70 points and higher. You might check the points priority status later if it has dropped down when you're ready to lodge your EOI. For now, the best bet is a 190 visa application. Good luck

    @Lermie The 5 points for Partner Skills is to be added to the points of the main applicant during the skilled visa application process and not on the EOI.

    Provided that the partner satisfies the following:

    Partner skills
    Proof that when you were invited to apply for this visa, your partner:

    was under 45 years old
    had competent English.
    had a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for their nominated skilled occupation. Your partner’s nominated skilled occupation must be on the same skilled occupations list as your nominated skilled occupation.
    Assessing authorities are listed against occupations in the relevant list of eligible skilled occupations

    @Lermie Di ko sure kung nagbago na yung process pero yung partner points applicable na sya sa EOI palang. Pag nag-enter ka ng details ni partner, including english scores, qualification, bith date and skills assessment, automatic na mag-add ng 5 points si Skillselect.

    261312 Developer Programmer - (English - 20pts | Age - 30pts. | Qualification - 10 | Experience - 0 ) = 60pts.

    Subclass 189 - 60pts.
    Subclass 190 - (60 + 5 spouse points + 5 SN) = 70pts.

    @mizlreese Basta nasa same list po kayo, pwede magclaim.

    In our case, Dev Programmer ako, my wife is on the 190 list. Pero naka-claim ako kasi pwede sa both 189 and 190 yung Nominated Occupation ko. :)
