    • On List means occupation coverage for this pathway, not satisfaction of residence, study, employment, points or intake requirements.

    Victoria confirms that all occupations on the relevant Home Affairs occupation list are eligible for Victorian nomination. Priority sectors and VPT ranking do not restrict this occupation-list coverage. ROI selection, points, residence and other subclass-specific requirements remain separate.

    An occupation's VPT priority sector is distinct from being personally eligible, having an open ROI pathway or receiving an invitation.

    Official source (opens in a new tab)

The official VPT page says the 2026–27 program will open soon and full eligibility will be published when it opens. Fees and ranking information have been announced, but that does not confirm applications are open. Checked 23 October 2026.

Program status describes whether the state is accepting applications. It is separate from list coverage.

  • A priority-sector occupation is not a nomination guarantee.
  • Graduate status alone is not an invitation or an exemption from the new nomination requirements.
  • 190 nomination adds five federal points, not VPT points.

Rules version
detailed-pathways-2026-10-24

Victoria's official index says full 2026–27 eligibility will be published when the program opens. The nomination and ROI route is recorded, but missing conditions have deliberately not been filled with older-year assumptions.

Limitations
  • The linked 190 page returned a not-found page and the 491 page could not be accessed during this source check. Neither is treated as verified eligibility evidence.
  • Do not reuse a past year's work-duration, salary, residence or graduate settings as if they were confirmed for 2026–27.
  • This is a source-referenced pathway guide, not an automated personal eligibility assessment. Occupation-list entries, caveats, document definitions and opening notices must be checked for the applicant and intended visa.
  • Source checking is not an approval or a guarantee that the government will keep these settings unchanged. Admin must review and explicitly publish this draft.

Which pathways exist

YES means the state has a route for this group. It does not mean applications are open now; check each stream's status. A route existing is not eligibility.

Being on an occupation list only makes an occupation relevant to a stream. It does not mean a person is eligible or will be nominated.

Rules that apply across streams

VisaFederal and state requirements
State nomination and the subclass 190 visa are separate decisions. Meet the applicable Home Affairs visa requirements, hold an eligible visa occupation and receive the required invitation. A state-listed occupation alone is not an eligibility decision.
PointsFederal points
At least 65 federal points including 5 nomination points, unless a higher competitive or occupation-specific requirement applies. State ROI, VPT and Canberra Matrix scores are different systems; minimum federal points do not guarantee selection.
Skills assessmentAssessment and registration
Hold the required valid positive migration skills assessment matching the nominated occupation and meet any occupation registration or licensing requirements. A provisional graduate-visa assessment is not automatically suitable.
EnglishEnglish and age
Meet the applicable English requirement and be under 45 at the federal invitation stage. A state may require stronger English or impose an earlier age-assessment stage; those state conditions also apply. English test rules depend on test type and test date.
ProcessEvidence and selection
Keep the SkillSelect EOI accurate and current, substantiate every claimed point, and follow the state's invitation or direct-application process. Nomination is competitive and discretionary; meeting a published minimum is not a promise of an invitation.

Process
SkillSelect EOI and Victorian ROI when officially available; confirm the current invitation and application process at opening.
Minimum requirements

You must meet all of these to be considered.

ProcessCurrent-year rules pending
Wait for Victoria's published 2026–27 criteria before relying on residence, employment, graduate, income, priority-sector or occupation concessions. The fact that a federal occupation is eligible does not establish Victorian nomination eligibility.
PointsIndependent scoring systems
Federal points and any Victorian ranking or VPT system are different. Do not combine their scores, treat an estimate as an invitation threshold, or assume a calculator proves eligibility.
Evidence checklist
  • Passport, current visa / VEVO record, valid matching migration skills assessment, English evidence and an up-to-date SkillSelect EOI. Supply registration or licensing evidence where required.
  • Evidence supporting every federal point and every state claim, including partner or dependant claims. Use the state's current document checklist before lodging.

Latest subclass 189 rounds

Latest five occupation-level rounds published in the checked Home Affairs current and previous-round pages. The checked current-round page identifies 4 June 2026; later reported rounds are not included without published official occupation-level results. A missing occupation row is not a zero score or proof that no invitation occurred.

Put these results in context

Put the state information in context with our 190 and 491 nomination planning guide. An occupation appearing on a list does not confirm that you meet a state’s individual pathway requirements.

If an employer-backed option may be relevant, read how employer sponsorship compares with skilled migration. Check the occupation list and applicant requirements for the particular visa stream separately.

ABS classification describes occupations, not an individual's skills assessment or eligibility. This reference is labelled with its own ANZSCO version; the federal points-tested and 494 instruments use the specified 2013 classification, while the checked 482 Core Skills and 186 Direct Entry instruments specify 2022. Changed or unmatched codes must not be treated as interchangeable.

Data sources and limitations

General information compiled from official published sources. Lists, rounds and state programs change without notice; confirm on the official source before acting.

  • This is occupation research, not a personal eligibility assessment or an invitation prediction. Points, age, English, skills assessment, residence, employment and other stream conditions must all be checked.
  • List membership, priority ranking, program opening status and invitation outcomes are different facts. None alone proves eligibility.
  • Queensland and WA Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Graduate occupation datasets are labelled 2025–26; current-year coverage is awaiting verification. NSW 491's Regional Skills List update remains separate from Pathway 1's verified federal-list rule. WA Defence occupation coverage remains unverified. Victoria, Tasmania and NT accept the relevant federal list for the general pathways identified in their details; intake openings, priority and personal requirements are separate.
  • Only approved state guides are included. Prepared or saved private drafts are never exposed. Some state pathways may not yet have an approved detailed guide.
  • 482 Core Skills, 186 Direct Entry and 494 Employer Sponsored coverage is checked against their separate legislative instruments. Specialist Skills, TRT, labour agreements and DAMA coverage must be assessed separately; no agreement coverage or personal eligibility is inferred.
  • State invitation rows require an approved guide identifying this exact occupation code or title. Federal 189 history uses the latest five rounds in the checked official Home Affairs pages and exact occupation-title matches. Unit-group results are not individual occupation cutoffs; missing scores remain unpublished, never zero or a borrowed score.
