Victoria's Skilled Migration Program is Now Open (2022)

Victoria Skilled Migration Program 2022-23 is now open !

The program offers a pathway to Australian Permanent Residency for candidates who can provide skills, knowledge and experience relevant to Victoria's economy.

The program provides 2 visa pathways:

• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)
• Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)

Key Changes in the Program

1. Onshore and offshore applicants can apply

In addition to applicants living in Victoria, the Victorian Government will also be selecting applicants living outside Australia for the subclass 190 visa in all eligible occupations.

For the subclass 491 visa - in addition to applicants living in Victoria, applicants living offshore can apply, noting that the Victorian Government is currently prioritising health occupations for subclass 491 visa nominations.

2. Increased number of eligible occupations

🚀 All occupations on the relevant Department of Home Affairs occupation list are now eligible, and applicants are no longer required to be using STEMM skills and working in a target sector to apply.
