Newstars Australia Migration Practical Query Toolbox
Every calculator and reference page we keep for day-to-day use sits on this page: count your days in Australia, estimate your skilled migration points, and check state nomination requirements and the occupation list — without hunting through the menu.
The calculators return estimates for your own reference. Whether you meet the requirements to lodge depends on your individual case, so before you act, rely on the Department of Home Affairs website or the advice of a registered migration agent.
Two online calculators
Condition 8558 Stay Calculator
Enter each arrival and departure date and the calculator works out your total days in Australia within the rolling 18-month window, how much of the 365-day limit is left, and the matching risk note. Built for holders of multiple-entry visitor visas.
Open the calculator →Australian Skilled Migration EOI Points Calculator (189 / 190 / 491)
Work through age, English, work experience, qualifications and partner details to get an estimated score and a breakdown by item; nomination or sponsorship points for 190 and 491 are added automatically.

Australian State Nomination Summary (190 / 491)
Nomination requirements and current openings for 190 and 491 across all eight states and territories, one page each.
View the state nomination summary →Australian CSOL Occupation List
The skilled occupation list, with the visa subclasses and assessing authority for each occupation.
View the occupation list →Australian Skilled Migration Points Table (189 / 190 / 491)
The full breakdown of all 11 point-scoring items — how many points each band carries and what you have to meet to claim it.
View the full points table →The calculators do arithmetic only: they add up the days and points from the dates and options you enter, and do not assess whether you meet a visa’s requirements. The same score means different things across visa subclasses and states, and your day count has to be read alongside the specific conditions on your visa. Figures are current as at the build date; we update them when policy or point values change.

When a score or a day count comes out wrong, it is rarely the arithmetic — it is usually one eligibility judgement that went the wrong way. Newstars offers a free initial assessment and feasibility review, one to one, in English or Chinese.
