@gregormendel (2H ago| Updated 2H ago)FY2025-26 Update on NT 190/491 State Nomination The NT Government is yet to receive its full nomination allocation for the 2025-26 program year from the Australian Government. The Australian Government released a second small interim allocation while State and Territory governments await the full allocation for this program year.
The NT Government now has a limited number of subclass 491 and subclass 190 nominations available for eligible onshore applicants with certain visa deadlines falling before 31 December 2026.
Until this interim allocation is exhausted, new nomination applications will be accepted for onshore applicants who meet the NT Graduate or NT Resident eligibility criteria and have one of the following visa deadlines falling before 31 December 2026: - those who have visas expiring before 31 December 2026 and are not eligible for a Temporary Graduate Visa; - those who are due to become ineligible for the GSM program due to turning 45 years of age before 31 December 2026; - those who have birthdays falling before 31 December 2026, resulting in their skilled migration points for subclass 491 falling below 65.
The NT Nomination application portal is intended to be opened by 24 November 2025 for new applications that meet the above. The 2025-26 program will remain closed for other applicants and will open once the full allocation is received from the Australian Government.
