✅ What Is the Age Limit for Australia PR

If you're aiming to apply for Australian PR, your age factor can significantly influence your eligibility, points score, and chances of success. It’s one of the first and most impactful criteria assessed by the Department of Home Affairs. To be eligible to apply for General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas in Australia, you must be under 45 years of age at the time of invitation.
