- Victoria's Skilled Migration Program is now open
- As with previous years, applicants will first need to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) and then be selected on competitive merit to apply for visa nomination.
- ROIs will be assessed until May 2023.
- Applicants who were not selected to apply in 2021-22 year are encouraged to submit a new Registration of Interest for the 2022-23 program.
- In addition to applicants living in Victoria, they will also be selecting applicants living outside Australia for the subclass 190 visa in all eligible occupations.
- For the subclass 491 visa in addition to applicants living in Victoria, applicants living offshore can apply, noting they are currently prioritising health occupations for subclass 491 visa nomination.
- All occupations on the relevant Department of Home Affairs occupation list are now eligible, and applicants are no longer required to be using STEMM skills and working in a target sector to apply.
