WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
Will work well if she is main applicant - she would get 30 points for age, 60 for being a teacher with experience (primary school?), upto 25 for english, and 5 points if you get your skills assessed as well. All equals 120, wham bam Perm Visa please!!!!

That is pretty much what I thought, although the agent seemed to suggest with the Ielts test we would have 125 without getting my skills assessed, not sure how she arrived at that though.
So we have to get Rachael out doing 20 hours a week for 12 months so we can apply!! Easy!!
Please note that I am not an agent so could be completely wrong, but as someone that has done their points sums lots and lots over the past 6 months the 125 point thing sounds a bit odd UNLESS Rachael is a MODL teacher...
Of course, if Rachael had 4 years experience, she could get 125 points....
Think your agent is making it up...

I think she might have done the calculation based on when she has the experience!! Bit of a worry that we have to rely on my experience and skills getting 5 points, hope I get them!!
Might go and see her in the new year and see exactly what has to be done, although it appears we can't even apply until she has 1 years experience. Still, gives me some time to save up!!
Thanks for your help!! I think it is a bit clearer now!
