Skilled Independent 189 Visa Numbers on the Rise
Allocations for the 189 visa are increasing, with the next invitation round anticipated soon.
Good news for independent skilled workers: the 189 visa (Skilled Independent visa) numbers are increasing from 16,900 to 21,900.
This boost provides a much better outlook for individuals relying purely on their points test rather than state or employer sponsorship. The next invitation round is anticipated on June 4th, bringing renewed hope to thousands of applicants patiently waiting in the SkillSelect pool.
Candidates in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and specific engineering fields are expected to receive priority. If your occupation falls within these in-demand sectors, ensure your Expression of Interest (EOI) is up to date with your highest possible points.
