11 October 2018 results

The following graph shows the points for clients who were invited to apply in the 11 October 2018 round.

Invitation process and cut offs

The highest ranked clients by points score are invited to apply for the relevant visa. For clients who have equal points scores, the time at which they reached their points score for that subclass (referred to as the date of effect) determines their order of invitation. Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.

SkillSelect first allocates available places to Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) and then the remaining to Skilled Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 489). If all places are taken up by subclass 189 visas then there will be no invitations issued for subclass 489 visas in these occupations.

Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) 70 2/09/2018  5:56pm
Skilled Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 489) 80 20/06/2018  7:47pm

Due to high levels of demand, and in keeping with previous years, the below occupation groups will be subject to pro rata arrangements to ensure availability of invitations across the program year.
