Registered Nurse (Community Health) — Victorian Points Test

What this occupation scores, what it is ranked against, and the highest total it can reach on Victoria’s points test for the subclass 190 and 491 visas.

Skill level is worked out from the ANZSCO code

Registered Nurse (Community Health) is ANZSCO skill level 1. On the Victorian Points Test, only skill level 1 occupations score points for this factor — 50 of them. Levels 2 and 3 score zero. That means this occupation earns the full 50 points.

What you are ranked against

Victoria ranks Registrations of Interest in two ways at once: across the whole pool, and within each priority industry. Registered Nurse (Community Health) sits in the Healthcare subgroup of Victoria’s Healthcare priority industry, so you are competing against others in that group as well as against everyone else.

The highest total this occupation can reach

The Victorian Points Test is scored out of 950. For Registered Nurse (Community Health) the ceiling is 950.

There is a second ceiling worth knowing about: the earnings factor counts only current skilled employment in Victoria, and it is worth up to 150 points. If you are applying from outside Victoria, or are not in skilled work here, your realistic maximum is 800.

There is no pass mark

Victoria does not publish a score you need to reach. It ranks every Registration of Interest from highest to lowest and invites from the top down in each round, so the only thing that matters is how your total compares with everyone else nominating Registered Nurse (Community Health). You also need at least 65 points on the separate federal SkillSelect test.
