Lowering the age limit under the General Skilled Migration (independent) Stream

From 1 July 2017 the maximum age for applicants under the General Skilled Migration (Independent) points tested Stream will be 45. While under current law applicants are not able to claim any points for age under that stream when they were aged between 45-50 or above but they could still apply (if invited) provided they were under 50 years of age.

Note that applicants who are below 50 years of age are still able to access the General Skilled Migration (Sponsored) points tested stream.
