We attended the Victorian State Nomination Information Session today and would like to share the following information:
1. VIC State Nomination ROIs will open on Monday, 26 October 2026.
2. The state aims to conduct one invitation round each month, with the first round targeted for November.
3. Last year’s highest points were 880.
4. 20% of last year’s invitations went to offshore applicants.
5. Only one ROI can be submitted, the same as in previous years. If you withdraw and resubmit an ROI, you don't have to pay again. However, if your nomination is refused and you receive another invitation, you will have to pay the nomination fee again.
6. Invitations will be issued based on the highest Victorian points, regardless of occupation, followed by the priority industry.
7. Annual Earnings calculation method will be the same as previous financial years
