I am interested in emigrating to Australia.  Where can I find the appropriate Australian visa application form?

Anyone interested in applying under the Skilled Migration Program should first complete the Online Assessment to find out their eligibility under the skilled visa classes. It is only after being assessed that you will be advised on the appropriate route to take and provided with information regarding the appropriate Australian visa application form

The Skilled Migration Program facilitates emigration based on an applicant's qualifications and their suitability to help ease labour shortages in Australia.

The Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) identifies those professions where shortages of workers are most severe and professionals on the MODL may have their application fast-tracked.

The Skilled Migration Program is points tested and points are awarded for age (applicants must be under 45), occupation, skills, language ability and other criteria.
