Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This notice sets the minimum score (called a "pass mark") that overseas students with Australian sponsors need to achieve to qualify for a specific permanent residency visa (Subclass 881).

Who it affects: Overseas students who completed their studies in Australia and have an Australian sponsor (such as a family member or employer) applying for the Skilled – Australian-sponsored Overseas Student visa.

The key number: The pass mark is set at 110 points.

Why it matters: Applicants for this visa class must reach this score in Australia's points-based immigration system. The Minister sets this threshold to control how many people qualify for this visa pathway. If you don't score at least 110 points, your visa application would be refused.
