Victorian Points Test (VPT) Calculator

Estimate your VPT total in a minute. Victoria uses the VPT to rank every Registration of Interest (ROI) for Skilled Nominated (190) and Skilled Work Regional (491) nomination — and there is no fixed pass mark.

Victoria’s 2026–27 skilled visa nomination program is now open for Registrations of Interest (ROIs) for the Skilled Nominated visa, subclass 190.

Each year, the Australian Government provides nomination allocations to state and territory governments for subclass 190 and the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, subclass 491.

Further information will be published once Victoria’s subclass 491 nomination places are confirmed. Prepare your EOI and ROI early so you are ready when the relevant pathway opens.

Calculate your VPT points

Choose an answer for each factor. Your total updates as you go.

Most competitive

In each invitation round, ROIs with the highest VPT totals across all eligible occupations in the pool are invited.

Priority industry

In each round, ROIs with the highest VPT totals within each priority industry or subgroup are invited. See the list below.

No fixed pass mark

Unlike SkillSelect (minimum 65 points), the VPT has no threshold. Your chances depend on your total relative to other applicants in each round.

No priority for personal circumstances

Victoria does not prioritise invitations based on age or an expiring visa or document. Preparing early is your best advantage.

Priority industries and occupations

Certain occupations in Victorian industries are prioritised to address critical skills needs. Registrations of Interest (ROIs) in each priority industry or industry subgroup are ranked using the Victorian Points Test (VPT). ROIs with the highest VPT totals within each priority industry or industry subgroup are invited to apply for nomination.

This list is for information only and does not change your VPT total. Partner skills points (50) also require your partner’s occupation to be a current priority industry occupation.
