What is the Victorian Points Test?
The Victorian Skilled Visa Nomination Program uses the Victorian Points Test to rank every ROI competing for state nomination. Rather than a simple pass/fail score, your VPT total determines how you rank against every other applicant in the pool — the higher your score, the more competitive your position.
Your VPT total is built from seven weighted factors:
- Ageup to 300
- English language levelup to 200
- Annual earnings in Victoria (if applicable)up to 150
- Years of experience in your occupationup to 100
- Educational qualificationup to 100
- Occupation skill levelup to 50
- Partner's skill (if applicable)up to 50
How Invitations Are Issued
Every eligible occupation can submit an ROI, and all ROIs are scored using the VPT. Victoria then issues invitations through two parallel pathways:
Most Competitive
In each invitation round, the highest-scoring ROIs across all eligible occupations are invited first.
Priority Industry
Occupations tied to Victoria's critical skill shortages are prioritised — the top-scoring ROIs within each priority industry are invited first.
