It looks like Australia uses a point system to determine visa eligibility.

For example, you get points for age. Applicants who are 25-32 years old get 30 points. As you get older, you get fewer points. Applicants who are older than 45 get 0 points.

Since you need at least 65 points for a visa, it seems difficult once you are over the age of 45.

That's right, and unless someone uses a ridiculously strict determination for some of the criteria (e.g. how fluent am I in English?), I should have plenty of points. I'm more worried about some additional gotcha.
