📣 New NT changes to offshore list on 26 Nov 2025 🔴 132211...

they most likely received enough applications for the occupation, so now its closed for new ROIs. EOI doesnt matter, NT has ROI. So if occupation is removed, then you cant submit ROI

Yes

so does this mean that my EOI won't be considered in FY25-26 if I didn't submit the ROI and I'll need to wait for the next FY?

Without a valid ROI, you will not receive an invite from NT, and if your occupation is not on the offshore list, you can not lodge a ROI. You can try other states in mean time. If NT changes list again and you get lucky, you can submit ROI then. Otherwise try other states,

Thank you Gregor. Based on your experience, how often does it happen when they put some occupations , especially system/business analyst back to the list? I understand it means almost nothing but I just don’t want to have meaningless expectations

Every years has unique patterns. I dont think this NT pattern can be related to last few FYs. At this stage, I would suggest focusing mainly on other states, and keep NT at the back of your mind, just in case it opens up again.

yes, I have EOIs for other states but I had the biggest hope for NT since it has shortage reflected and lost my chance now due to the misunderstanding of the process and no notification from my migration agent. thank you for your responses.

tbh, NT is pretty irresponsible this way, to open and close within hours. They should be more professional, allow more rois, then rank them later. this FIFO is not optimal use of allocation

totally agree. my expectation was that they collect ROIs, sort them by points and invite one-by-one. currently those guys who woke up earlier or in a timezone closer to Australia managed to click the Submit button faster and will be chosen based on this, not the points. For me the ROI for ICT BA was closed when I was sleeping :-D
