Expected visa grant

Priority

Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher lodged Subclass 491 on 05 Jun 2026

About this estimate: Level 1 (priority occupations) and level 2 (onshore non-priority) each use grant samples from their own group.

Levels 3 and 4 (offshore non-priority) use a combined sample set because many past grant profiles do not say whether the person applied alone or with a partner or family. Combining them gives us more data for a stable estimate. Priority levels follow Direction 122.
