🚨 BIG UPDATE FOR VICTORIAN SKILLED MIGRATION! 🚨
The 2026-27 Victorian Skilled Visa Nomination Program is opening soon, and there’s a new way you’ll be assessed!
Introducing the Victorian Points Test (VPT) 📊
Victoria will now use the VPT to rank all Registrations of Interest (ROIs) for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
Unlike the SkillSelect points test, there is no fixed pass mark! Invitations go to the highest-scoring candidates based on these 7 weighted factors:
✅ Age (Bonus points for younger applicants!)
✅ English Language Level
✅ Years of Experience in your Nominated Occupation
✅ Educational Qualification (Up to PhD level)
✅ Occupation Skill Level
✅ Partner’s Skill (if applicable)
✅ Annual Earnings from Skilled Employment in Victoria (if applicable)
Who will get invited?
Invitations will focus on the most competitive applicants overall AND those working in critical Priority Industries (Healthcare, Social Assistance, Education, and Construction).
⏳ Don't wait until the program opens to get ready!
Let’s calculate your potential VPT score and ensure your Expression of Interest (EOI) and ROI are perfectly aligned to maximize your chances.
