On ART? That does not mean there is no other option.

We recently helped a client whose student visa was refused and who was waiting on an ART review. A Partner visa (subclass 820) application was lodged, a Bridging visa B was granted for 5 years and is now attached to the subclass 820 application. That meant the ART application could be withdrawn.

Every case is different, so please do not withdraw anything without advice. Contact us to find out your options.

For a lot of families, the fastest realistic route to permanent residence through skilled migration runs through regional Australia, and it is worth understanding before you rule it out.

The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa, subclass 491, is a points-tested visa for skilled workers who are either nominated by a State or Territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member in a designated regional area. It lets you live and work in a designated regional area for a set period.

The real value is the pathway: after holding the subclass 491 and meeting the requirements, including living and working in a regional area for the required time, you may be eligible for the permanent subclass 191.

Regional Australia often means more affordable housing, genuine job demand, and strong communities. For many families, the lifestyle turns out to be the part they did not expect to enjoy.

The specifics decide everything here. The eligible regional areas, the holding period, any income requirement, and the points you need should be confirmed on the Department pages before you plan around any specific figure.

If a regional move could open a pathway for your family, we can help you weigh it up, subject to Department requirements.

Victoria has announced fees for its 2026-27 skilled visa nomination program, covering the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).

Registration of Interest (ROI): $60 plus GST ($66 including GST)
Subclass 190 nomination application: $180 plus GST ($198 including GST)
Subclass 491 nomination application: $180 plus GST ($198 including GST)

What to know:
✅ The ROI fee is charged once per program year.
✅ The nomination application fee is payable only if you are invited to apply and lodge a nomination application.
✅ GST applies where the applicant is in Australia at the time of payment.
✅ If you submitted an ROI in a previous program year, a new ROI is required for 2026-27 once the program opens.
✅ Opening details for the 2026-27 program have not yet been announced.

These fees are charged by the Victorian Government and are separate from the Department of Home Affairs visa application charge and any professional fees. Submitting an ROI or nomination application does not guarantee an invitation, nomination or visa grant.

Home Affairs has announced the next Skilled Independent (subclass 189) SkillSelect invitation round for 15 October 2026.

The last round was on 4 June 2026, with 10,000 invitations issued. Highest points are invited first; numbers and occupations vary, and not every EOI is invited. The best preparation is to keep your EOI up to date and accurate.

State and territory nominations for the subclass 190 and 491 visas are not affected by this round.

Do you have an EOI in SkillSelect right now?

14/10/2026

One of the most common questions we hear is whether you need to sit an English test for an Australian visa, and the honest answer is: it depends on the visa.

Many Australian visas require you to show a level of English, and the level that is required varies by visa and by stream. The Department recognises several approved English tests, and there are some situations where you do not need to sit a test at all, for example, if you hold a passport from certain countries.

For points-tested skilled visas, your English result can also affect the number of points you are awarded, not just whether you are eligible. That makes it one of the first things worth checking and planning for.

Because the exact scores, the accepted tests, and the exemptions are specific and they change, always confirm the current requirement for your visa on the Department website before you book a test or plan around a result.

Here is our question for you: are you planning an English test for your visa, or do you think you might be exempt? Tell us in the comments, and we will point you to the right information.

For help planning your English requirement, we are here, subject to Department requirements.

Hoping to have family visit you in Australia, or planning a holiday here yourself? The Visitor visa, subclass 600, is the main pathway, and knowing the streams helps you choose correctly.

It has several streams, including a Tourist stream for a holiday or to visit family and friends, a Sponsored Family stream where an Australian relative sponsors the visit, a Business Visitor stream for activities such as meetings and conferences, and a Frequent Traveller stream for some applicants. The right stream depends on the purpose of the visit and the applicant's circumstances.

A few things are worth knowing early. It is a temporary visa; it generally does not allow the holder to work, and some grants carry a condition that limits applying for other visas while in Australia.

Reforms to the Visitor visa program were among the measures announced in 2026, so it is worth checking the current rules on the Department page rather than relying on older advice from friends or forums.

If you want help choosing the right stream and preparing a strong application for a parent, sibling or friend to visit, we can guide you, subject to Department requirements.

If you are a nurse or a healthcare worker thinking about building your career in Australia, here is how the pieces fit together.

There are two tracks, and they run alongside each other.

The first is migration. Most skilled visa options require a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority, and for points-tested visas you submit an Expression of Interest before you can be invited to apply.

The second is professional registration. To practise as a nurse in Australia, you generally need registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia through the national registration scheme.

The two tracks have their own requirements, including on English, and the order you tackle them in makes a real difference to how long the whole process takes.

Healthcare remains an area of strong demand, and Queensland continues to recruit, so the pathway is well worth understanding properly before you commit time and money.

If you work in healthcare and want to map your migration and registration steps in the right order, we can help, subject to Department requirements.
