@gregormendel (3W ago| Updated 3W ago)Victoria’s 2025–26 Skilled Migration Program now open
Victoria’s skilled migration program is now open to applicants in Victoria and overseas.
Program allocation The Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs has provided Victoria with a small interim allocation for the 2025–26 program year: - 200 places for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) - 180 places for the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) The full allocation for the 2025–26 program is expected to be confirmed by the Department of Home Affairs in the coming weeks. Updates will be shared on the Skilled Migration Program page and through the Live in Melbourne website.
Existing ROIs If you have an active Registration of Interest (ROI), it will remain valid for consideration in the 2025-2026 program. You only need to submit a new ROI if your information has changed.
New applicants can apply under two visa pathways: - Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) - Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) To be considered, you must submit a SkillSelect Expression of Interest and a Registration of Interest.
Note: Only 1 ROI is allowed per applicant, and the ROI can only select 1 occupation and 1 subclass (regardless of how many EOIs you have submitted).

Which occupation has more opportunity to apply for Victoria Retail pharmacist Or Hospital pharmacist As my experience is valid for the two occupation Thanks
Is the interim allocation for visa grants (people already invited) as opposed to invitations?
its for invitations.
Great - thank you.
@gregormendel correct me if I am wrong but do we not submit a new ROI each year? Even if no points changed? I am a bit confused here. Can you assist?
You dont need to submit a new ROI unless some information in existing ROI has changed.
