FY2024-25 Planning Level Usage
Learn more about planning levels →
Regional planning level is 33000 places of which ~85% (guesstimate) can be
estimated to
be available for 491 regional visa = 28050 places (primary + secondary).
As at 28 Feb 2025, 18955
(67.6%) out of 28050 places have been consumed by visa
grants,
with 9095 remaining places until the end of FY.
The number of ONHAND visas as at 28 Feb 2025 is
24538 (see table below). Therefore, the
remaining FY planning level (9095) is enough to grant
37.1% of the
ONHAND visas.
