💼 Important Update for Australian Skilled Migration Applicants**
The Australian Department of Home Affairs has confirmed that the next **Subclass 189 Skilled Independent invitation round is expected to be held by 30 September 2026.**
Applicants interested in **Subclass 190 and Subclass 491** should also closely monitor individual state and territory nomination programs, as each jurisdiction follows its own occupation priorities, eligibility criteria and invitation schedule.
If your Expression of Interest is already in the SkillSelect pool—or you are planning to submit one—now is the time to review your profile carefully.
✅ Confirm the correct ANZSCO occupation
✅ Recalculate your eligible points
✅ Check the validity of your skills assessment
✅ Review your English-language test validity
✅ Update employment, qualification and partner details
✅ Ensure every claimed point is supported by proper evidence
✅ Check your eligibility for multiple state nomination pathways
Submitting an EOI does **not guarantee an invitation**. Invitation outcomes depend on factors such as occupation demand, points score, date of effect and government priorities.
⚠️ Incorrectly claimed points, unsupported employment experience, inconsistent dates or an expired skills assessment may create serious problems after receiving an invitation and can potentially result in visa refusal.
Do not wait until an invitation is issued to identify errors.
Your EOI and supporting documents should be **accurate, consistent and visa-ready before selection.**
