Understand the result
What your VPT score does and does not mean
Victoria ranks ROIs from highest to lowest during each invitation round. A particular score is not a guaranteed threshold.
A priority-industry occupation may be ranked within a separate pool, but it does not receive extra numerical VPT points.
You must still meet Australian visa eligibility and the final Victorian nomination requirements when the program opens.
Common questions
Victorian Points Test calculator FAQs
Is the Victorian Points Test the same as the Australian skilled visa points test?
No. The Australian Government points test is used for skilled visa eligibility and generally requires at least 65 points. The Victorian Points Test is a separate ranking system used for Victorian Registration of Interest selection. The two scores must not be added together.
Is there a passing VPT score for Victoria?
No. Victoria has not set a fixed VPT pass mark. Registrations of Interest are ranked against other applicants in the pool during invitation rounds.
Does a Victorian priority occupation add extra VPT points?
No. Priority status is a separate invitation pathway. It does not add numerical points to the VPT total.
How does the calculator treat exactly eight years of experience?
Victoria’s published table lists 6–7 years and more than 8 years, but does not clearly allocate exactly 8 years. The calculator therefore shows a provisional score range instead of inventing a result.
Does the result guarantee a subclass 190 or 491 invitation?
No. The result is an estimate based on the information entered. Invitation outcomes depend on the competing ROI pool, nomination places and current Victorian requirements.
