🇦🇺 SUBCLASS 189 INVITATION ROUND – 4 JUNE 2026 🇦🇺

The next Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa invitation round is scheduled for Thursday, 4 June 2026.
For many skilled professionals seeking permanent residency in Australia, a well-prepared Expression of Interest (EOI) can make all the difference when invitations are issued.

Before the invitation round, it is important to ensure:

✅ Skills assessment is current and valid
✅ English language results are up to date
✅ Employment history is accurately claimed
✅ Points score is correctly calculated
✅ EOI information is complete and supported by evidence

With invitation thresholds varying between occupations and rounds, preparation remains key.

If you would like your eligibility assessed or your EOI reviewed before the next invitation round, contact Thames Migration today.

Why Experience Matters in Migration

Australian migration laws and policies can change quickly—and sometimes those changes can have significant consequences for visa applicants.

A notable example occurred in 2010, when the Government introduced visa capping measures affecting thousands of skilled migration applications. Many applicants who had already lodged valid applications found their applications effectively ceased, receiving a refund of their government fees but losing their place in the migration process altogether.

This is where experience becomes invaluable.

At Thames Migration, we have navigated major migration reforms, policy shifts, occupation list changes, invitation rounds, visa closures, and legislative amendments over many years. Experience provides a broader understanding of how migration programs evolve and, importantly, how risks can be identified and mitigated before they become a problem.

An experienced migration professional can help by:

✔ Identifying risks before they impact your application
✔ Considering alternative pathways should policy settings change
✔ Understanding historical migration trends and government priorities
✔ Advising on timing and strategy to reduce exposure to future changes
✔ Developing contingency plans where appropriate

Migration is not always about what the law says today. It is often about understanding where the program may be heading tomorrow and preparing accordingly.
The migration journey can be one of the biggest decisions of your life. Having experienced guidance can make all the difference when navigating an ever-changing migration landscape.

IMPORTANT MIGRATION UPDATE 🚨

Australia’s upcoming Federal Budget announcement this Tuesday may include a major overhaul of the Skilled Migration Program.

Proposed changes currently being discussed include:

✔️ Changes to the migration points test
✔️ Faster overseas skills recognition
✔️ Greater focus on economic outcomes
✔️ Increased emphasis on younger skilled migrants and education pathways
✔️ Potential reforms to how migration points are awarded

While full details are yet to be officially confirmed, these discussions could significantly impact future Subclass 189, 190 and 491 applicants, employer sponsored pathways, and Australia’s broader skilled migration strategy.

With Australia continuing to face skills shortages across construction, healthcare, engineering, trades and infrastructure sectors, this may mark one of the more significant migration policy shifts in recent years.
We will continue monitoring Tuesday’s Budget announcement closely and provide updates as soon as further information becomes available.
