SIGNIFICANT CHANGES 🚨 FOR VICTORIAS 2026–27 SKILLED MIGRATION PROGRAM

What do you need to know?

✅ New Victorian Points Test – Applicants will be ranked based on factors including age, English proficiency, qualifications, skilled work experience, occupation skill level and earnings in Victoria.
✅ Priority Occupations – Healthcare, Education, Social Assistance and Construction are among the industries receiving priority consideration.
✅ Greater emphasis on competitiveness – Meeting the minimum SkillSelect points requirement will not necessarily make an applicant competitive for Victorian nomination.
✅ New application fees – Fees will now apply to Registrations of Interest (ROIs) and state nomination applications.
✅ Existing ROIs – Applicants who submitted an ROI in a previous program year will need to submit a new one.

📌 The program has not yet opened for new ROIs. Further eligibility details and opening dates still to be announced.

How will the changes impact you? Migration Ways can help.

Beware of the Student Visa changes that came into effect on 2 October 🚨

These changes affect whether some students who are already in Australia can apply for another Student visa from within Australia.

➡️ You can no longer enrol in another course and apply for a further Student visa while remaining here.
➡️ There are still exemptions. For example, some students who are progressing to a higher level of study may still be able to apply in Australia, as may students who need additional time to complete their existing course.
➡️ But whether you qualify for an exemption depends on your particular circumstances — including what you're studying now, whether you've completed your course, and what you intend to.

If you're planning further studies in Australia, now is the time to understand how these changes affect you and to make a plan.

You may need to reconsider your next course, the timing of your application, whether you need to apply from outside Australia, or whether there are other visa pathways you should be considering.

At Migration Ways, we're offering a 30-minute consultation specifically for international students affected by the new Student visa rules. We'll look at your previous and current visa and studies, what you're planning to do next, and explain how the new rules apply to your circumstances.

In our industry, we come across many people who speak English as their second language – in fact, many in our team speak another language as their mother tongue.

If you speak Italian or Spanish as your first language, we are more than happy to assist you in your native language.

21/09/2026

On Thursday's National Press Club address, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke outlined reforms framed around three questions: who arrives, who stays and who leaves.

Who will be most affected?

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND GRADUATES
➡️ Most new Student and Temporary Graduate visa applicants will no longer be able to include family members.
➡️ Students will generally be expected to progress upwards through the qualification framework rather than move between courses or into lower-level qualifications primarily to extend their stay.

WORKING HOLIDAY MAKERS
➡️ A ballot system is proposed for second and third Working Holiday visas, together with regional work requirements and limits on the number of places available.
➡️ Processing is expected to return to approximately three months for applicants undertaking regional work.
➡️ UK passport holders will remain subject to different arrangements arising from the Australia–UK Free Trade Agreement.

VISITOR VISA HOLDERS
➡️ A “No Further Stay” condition is expected to be imposed on future Visitor visas. This would significantly restrict the ability of visitors to lodge another visa application while in Australia.

SKILLED MIGRANTS AND AUSTRALIAN EMPLOYERS
➡️ Ministerial Direction 119 will be updated to prioritise skilled visa processing across key sectors, including healthcare, construction, education, law enforcement, defence, resources, agriculture, aquaculture and fishing.
➡️ The skilled migration points test will also be reviewed, with qualifications in housing construction trades expected to receive points comparable to a bachelor degree.

VISA OVERSTAYERS AND NON-GENUINE APPLICANTS
➡️ There will be stronger compliance and removal activity for people who remain in Australia without a valid visa, supported by an additional 100 compliance officers and greater detention capacity.
➡️ The Government also intends to address non-genuine protection claims and prolonged use of review processes. However, some of these measures require legislation and the final details are yet to be confirmed.
➡️ Registered migration agents who knowingly encourage applications without merit will also face stronger sanctions, including possible deregistration.

Much of the implementation detail, commencement dates and transitional arrangements are still to come. As always, the real impact will depend on the legislation, regulations and policy settings that follow the announcement.

We will continue to monitor the changes and provide further updates as the details become available.

For our final mythbusting, we saved the biggest one. Is overseas sponsorship too risky? If you think about it, any business decision will have risk. The best thing you can do is educate yourself, so you can make informed decisions.

Migration agents (like Migration Ways) can help in this regard. We guide you through the application process, making sure you are well-informed throughout the journey. But our mission does not end after the applications are lodged.

We endeavour to continue supporting our employer clients, by helping them understand ongoing sponsorship obligations, and by being a point of contact whenever questions arise. So, let’s start and move on this journey together. Let’s chat.

We also recently created an employer sponsorship guide, which you can download through the link below:

Many have a preconceived notion on the type of companies that sponsor employees. However, during our combined 40+ years of experience, we observe that the only way to know whether sponsorship is suitable is to assess your individual circumstances.

So, let’s do that, and have a chat. We have successfully worked with businesses across hospitality, retail, construction, manufacturing, engineering, entertainment, professional services, and other industries.
