Teacher, tradie or construction professional? Your occupation could put your skilled visa application in Priority 1. 👀

Under Ministerial Direction 122, some construction, trade and teaching occupations are being prioritised for skilled visa processing. And it’s not just employer sponsorship. This can also apply across pathways including the 189, 190 and 491 visas.

Swipe to see if your occupation is on the list.

Just remember, your occupation is only one part of the picture. Your visa pathway and individual circumstances still matter.

NSW 190 NOMINATION IS OPENING!

📅 From 19 October 2026, NSW will open its 2026–27 skilled migration program for the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa.

The 190 is a permanent, points-tested visa, but NSW nomination is highly competitive and you cannot apply directly. Candidates are selected from SkillSelect and invited by NSW to apply for nomination.

✅ Is your occupation eligible?
✅ Is your skills assessment valid?
✅ Is your EOI accurate and up to date?
✅ Are you realistically competitive for NSW nomination?

Migration Downunder can assess your circumstances and help you understand your skilled migration options.

Which Australian Partner Visa pathway could be right for you? 💛

Swipe through for a simple guide to the 300, 820/801 and 309/100 Partner Visas.

One important thing to keep in mind: planning to apply onshore? Check your current visa conditions first. If your visa has a ‘No Further Stay’ condition like 8503, you may not be able to lodge your Partner Visa in Australia unless that condition is waived.

Every couple’s story is different, so your circumstances and timing matter too.

Think of it like a queue: high demand, limited places, and applications moving forward as more visas become available.

If bringing your parents to Australia is part of your plan, reach out to our team. We’re here to help you make sense of the process and work out the right pathway for your family.

🚨 189 invitation round update

A little more waiting for 189 hopefuls. The latest advice from Home Affairs is that the next Skilled Independent (subclass 189) invitation round is now expected in mid-October, after previously being expected by 30 September.

If you already have an EOI in SkillSelect, now’s a good opportunity to give it a quick check and make sure everything is accurate and up to date.

We’ll be keeping an eye on the round and sharing the latest once it lands. 👀

And if you’re unsure where your EOI stands, our team is here to help. Get in touch at migrationdownunder.com
