If you have a partner, it may be worthwhile to also obtain a skills and English language
assessment for your partner to see whose application may have the best chance of
success. When making your assessment remember that either you or your partner must
meet the pass mark individually.
If your partner’s skills are to be used to obtain partner skills points under the points test
(see below), a skills assessment for your partner must be lodged before a final decision is
made on your application, otherwise they cannot be taken into account.
