How does the Australia Immigration Points calculator work?

Australia has a points-based system to assess applicants’ profiles for skilled migration. The minimum threshold is 65 points to be eligible for Australian skilled visas. The immigration system is competitive, and candidates are ranked based on their overall points. The higher the scores, the more the chances of receiving an ITA.
 

Different visa categories have different points requirements and may include additional benchmarks, like nomination by an Australian state or territory or by an Australia-based employer.
