This calculator provides an indicative score only based on the 2025–26 program year settings. It does not constitute migration advice.

Verify your eligibility with a registered migration agent (MARA). The pass mark for GSM and Business visas is 65 points; however, competitive invitation scores are typically 85–95+ for Subclass 189 in 2026.

The Canberra Matrix is a separate system from the federal SkillSelect points test. Invitation thresholds vary by occupation and can change each round.
