Western Australia (WA) is now accepting Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the Skilled Nominated (Subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Subclass 491) visas starting in early August 2024. The program features free applications, priority for applicants living and working in WA, and prioritization of individuals in critical demand sectors.
2024-25 State Nomination Allocations
Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
The government allocated 1,800 visa slots, dividing them between the Skilled Nominated (Sc 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Sc 491) visas. Notably, the government plans to announce the next round of invitations by August 31, 2024. This allocation reflects a strategic effort to manage skilled migration effectively while addressing labor market needs. Consequently, applicants should stay informed as the announcement date approaches, ensuring they are prepared for potential opportunities.
Queensland (QLD)
However dissatisfied with the allocation of only 1200 skilled visa nominations to be evenly split for the 2024-25 program year, QLD is also a prospect when choosing which state to apply to. Additional information is provided on the Government’s website.
South Australia (SA)
SA offers a total of 3,800 nomination spots, including 3,000 for the Skilled Nominated (Sc 190) visa and 800 for the Skilled Work Regional (Sc 491) visa. This significant allocation highlights the state’s commitment to attracting skilled migrants.

The government doubled its nomination places from the previous year to 1,600 for the NT’s 2024-25 program. Applications can now be submitted via the online portal. For updates, visit the NT Government website.
Victoria (VIC)
The allocation includes 5,000 skilled visa slots, designed for 3,000 subclass 190 and 2,000 Skilled Work Regional visas. Consequently, this distribution not only addresses the demand for skilled workers, but also enhances opportunities for migrants seeking to contribute to the local economy. Furthermore, by clearly defining these categories, the program effectively streamlines the application process, making it more accessible for potential candidates.
New South Wales (NSW)
Similar to VIC, NSW also has 5000 skilled visa spots. Subclass 190 with 3000 places and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) with 2000 places. The NSW Skilled Migration program holds invitation rounds throughout the fiscal year without fixed or publicized dates.
Tasmania (TAS)
Tasmania offers a total of 2,860 nomination slots for state and territory-nominated visas. Specifically allocating 2,100 places for the subclass 190 visa and 760 places for the subclass 491 visa. This structured allocation not only facilitates skilled migration but also enhances Tasmania’s ability to attract and retain talent in various industries.
