Don't wait for the next invitation round to get started!

If you're hoping for a Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) visa, now is the time to get organised, not once the invitations have gone out.

The Department has told us another invitation round is coming in September, so the more prepared you are, the stronger your position.

Here's how to set yourself up:
✅ Have your qualifications and experience assessed
✅ Get your positive skills assessment sorted
✅ Sit (or re-sit) your English language exam, even if English is your first language. The higher your English level, the more points you earn.

More points = a better chance of receiving an invitation. 📈

🌱 Get your documents in order
Passports, English test results, skills assessments, employment records and relationship or family documents can all take time to organise.

🌱 Stay informed
Migration settings can shift, so it is worth checking whether any recent updates could affect your strategy. Follow us to keep up to date!

🌱 Get professional support
The right advice early on can help you understand your options and avoid costly mistakes later.

So plant now. Plan ahead.

Happy Father’s Day ❤️

To the dads, grandfathers and father figures we’re lucky enough to have beside us, those we’re celebrating from afar, and those we’re remembering today, we’re thinking of you.

At Migration Downunder, we’re privileged to help families build their lives in Australia and, in many cases, find a pathway to being together again. It’s a reminder of just how much family, connection and belonging matter.

Wishing you all a very Happy Father’s Day from the team at Migration Downunder.

With Father’s Day just around the corner, we’re celebrating a few of the fathers and families we’ve had the privilege of supporting. 💛

For families separated by distance, the right visa pathway can mean more time together and more of the everyday moments that matter.

Depending on your family’s circumstances, options may include:
🏡 Permanent Parent visas for eligible parents looking to settle in Australia
💛 Sponsored Parent (subclass 870) visas for parents wanting to spend an extended period with family in Australia
✈️ Visitor visas which may suit some families looking to spend more time together temporarily

The right pathway depends on factors including eligibility, timing, cost and your family’s longer-term plans.

We’re proud to have played a small part in bringing these families a little closer.

If having Mum or Dad closer is something your family has been thinking about, our team can help you understand the options available.

The order certain skilled visa applications are picked up for assessment has changed. Here’s where you sit. 👇

From 25 July 2026, Ministerial Direction 119 sets a new priority order based on two things:
Your occupation
Whether you were in Australia or outside Australia when you applied

Use the ladder to find where your application sits in the priority order. ⬆️

Remember: priority is not a speed guarantee, and it does not change the criteria you still need to meet. It only changes the order the Department picks up applications for assessment.

Not sure which priority group your application falls into? Get in touch via the link in bio.

Happy Friday to everyone hoping to secure Northern Territory nomination! 🎉

The NT Government has officially opened its nomination program today, 21 August 2026, after receiving its full allocation for the 2026-27 program year.

Even better news, the Northern Territory has received 200 more nomination places than last year, creating additional opportunities for skilled migrants looking to call the Top End home.

Applications are now open for all onshore streams and selected offshore streams, but make sure you review the updated eligibility criteria before applying.

Good luck to everyone preparing their applications. We know many of you have been eagerly waiting for this announcement! 🌏🐊

Christina & Julie had the pleasure of attending the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) Western Australia Conference last week.

Some of the key updates shared included:

✅ A stronger focus on prioritising skilled migrants who are already living and working in Australia under Ministerial Direction 119.

✅ Upcoming reforms to the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program, designed to better identify and attract highly skilled migrants who will contribute to Australia's long-term economic needs.

✅ A new points test planned for March 2027, with changes expected to raise the bar for invitations under the Subclass 189 and Subclass 190 visa programs.

✅ Expansion of the Subclass 462 Work and Holiday Visa ballot system to provide a fairer allocation of visa places, while continuing to support regional workforce needs through existing regional work requirements.

The clear message from the conference was that Australia's migration system is increasingly focused on attracting and retaining the right skills, while recognising the contribution of people already living and working here.
