This is an estimate from the official tables as of 1 July 2026. The government decides your result, and the rules change, so confirm with a counsellor before you apply.
Only Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom score applicants on points. The other eighteen destinations we work with do not, so there is no score to beat there.
