As the name hints at, this scheme allows for the selection of certain sets of skilled people, who are needed within Australia.

The most highly qualified people with the most in demand skills (on the skilled occupation list) will usually get priority. The general rule is that, the more qualified you are, the more likely you will be to get permanent residency.

Conversely, the lower the skill set, the less likely you will be able to get permanent residency. However, Australia does take into account for the need for certain skill sets in specific states. This means that some states may make it easier for applicants of certain occupations to move into that particular state.

This group of visas contains both temporary and permanent residence visas. The temporary visas usually allow applicants a certain amount of time within the country working up their skill sets, after which many people are then able to transition to a permanent residency visa.
