News and Updates

Ministerial Direction 122 has been published, establishing processing priorities for skilled visa applications. The direction creates three processing groups: priority occupations regardless of location, onshore non-priority applicants, and offshore non-priority applicants. This framework determines the order in which visa applications are processed by the Department of Home Affairs.

One applicant noted that the offshore queue is moving but at a slower pace compared to onshore and priority occupation applications, with parallel processing occurring across different queues. The onshore/priority queue is currently processing applications from the June 2026 round.
