The 189-invitation round was held on 15 October 2026, but Home Affairs had not yet published the results as at 16 October.

While we wait, here is what the last official round (4 June 2026) looked like: 10,000 EOIs invited, minimum scores from 65 to 100, and half of the occupations invited at 80. A past round is not a prediction, so keep your EOI accurate.

Which occupation are you waiting on?

Disclaimer: General information only, based on the Department of Home Affairs SkillSelect invitation round results of 4 June 2026 and the Department's notice that the next round would be held on 15 October 2026. Minimum scores apply to one round only. Not personal migration advice. Speak with a registered migration agent about your situation.

NSW nominates skilled workers for the Skilled Nominated (190) visa through invitation rounds only. You cannot apply directly: you submit a SkillSelect EOI and NSW invites the highest ranking applicants within each ANZSCO unit group on its Skills List, considering age, English, education, points and years of skilled work experience.

Onshore applicants need to work in NSW in their nominated occupation for at least 20 hours a week or have lived in NSW for at least six months.

Offshore applicants need to have lived outside Australia for at least six months. If you are invited you have 14 days, and it is not extended. The 491 is closed to new applications in NSW.

If you want us to review your EOI before a round, send us a message. www.apimmi.com.au/contact-9

The ACT’s first nomination round of the 2026-27 program year is scheduled for the week of 12 October, and it is for Subclass 190 only. Three more rounds follow in January, March and May 2027, this time including the 491. Dates are tentative, invitations are never guaranteed, and the Canberra Matrix ranking decides who is invited within each occupation.

Are you waiting on a state nomination, and which state?

Australia is banning card payment surcharges from 1 October, and that includes the Visa Application Charge you pay through ImmiAccount. The Department has confirmed the surcharge goes, with no offsetting increase to the visa fee itself.

Have you noticed a surcharge on your visa payments before?

📰Big news for anyone on a temporary visa in Australia right now, or planning your next Student visa.

As of 2 October 2026, the Australian Government has changed the rules on who can apply for a Student visa while in Australia. Three new legal instruments came into effect: the Migration Amendment (Student Visa Reform) Regulations 2026, LIN 26/102, and LIN 26/087.

🔽Here’s what changed:

Most temporary visa holders can no longer apply onshore. If you’re on a Working Holiday visa (417/462), Visitor visa (600), Skills in Demand visa (482), Temporary Graduate visa (485), or several other visa types, you now need to apply for your Student visa from outside Australia.

Already on a Student visa?
The same rule usually applies to you too. If you want another Student visa, you’ll generally need to apply from offshore as well, unless you qualify for one of four exceptions: finishing your current course within 12 months of your CoE end date, genuinely progressing to a higher qualification level, starting a PhD, or your provider defaulting.

Bringing a partner or kids?
The rules on adding dependants later have tightened significantly. They’re now expected to apply together with you from the start.

If you apply offshore, you’ll generally also need to stay offshore until the visa is granted.

This applies to applications made from 2 October 2026 onwards.
If you already lodged before , you’re assessed under the old rules.

This is a lot to take in, and everyone’s situation is different. If any of this sounds like it could affect you, message us and we’ll talk through your exact circumstances.

What’s your situation, are you planning your next application?

Picking your next course used to be flexible. Now, if you’re applying for a subsequent student visa, it needs to be a genuine step up the qualification scale, think bachelor’s to master’s, not another course at the same level.

This is one of the changes from the 17 September migration announcement.

Are you mid-course and thinking about what’s next?

If you’ve spent the last 3 years building a life in regional Australia, the job, the community, the plan, you’re probably counting down to your 191 application.

New guidance clarifies exactly how your income evidence gets assessed, and there’s no fixed minimum dollar amount, but that doesn’t mean any income will do. Worth five minutes before you lodge, not after.
