State and Territory Nomination Allocation for 2022-23 - Skilled Visa 491 and 190 Allocation

The interim allocations for the states have been released. The total number of 190 and 491 allocations is just under 50,000

There are massive allocation increases for New South Wales, Victoria, and WA due to last year’s trend of regional migration moving to other states.

The comparison table below shows a huge increase for 491 and 190 visas.

State Nomination Allocation 2022 23 comparing to 2021 22 skilled visa 491 and 190 allocation

Overall, 190 visa allocations have been nearly doubled as many as last year with 30,000 places in total.

This is higher than 18,500 of 491 allocations in all states.

It shows that more permanent migration will be placed.

It is going to be a great year for every onshore student, and temporary visa holder with plenty of opportunities for 190/491 nominations across every state.

The allocation is even above the levels that are contained in the pre-election 2023 levels.

This is just an interim allocation and there will be more allocations later.

What should you do now?

So, everyone should be checking for their best occupation on the list, getting their skills assessed and their English tested.

Moreover, you should work out how many points you want to get for skilled visas 190 and 491.

So far, there has been all positive news for international students and skilled migrants.

There are more pathways and more opportunities for PR in Australia.

Tasmania State Nomination Update 2022-2023 - Skilled Visa 491 and 190 Tasmania

Interim nomination allocation received

Tasmania has received an interim skilled visa allocation of nomination places from the Australian Government for the 2022-23 program year. 

The Department of Home Affairs has advised that this allocation will be revisited after the first quarter of 2022-23 and should not be taken as an indication of the full year’s quota. 

Tasmania’s interim allocation includes:
Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa: 2000 places
Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) visa: 1350 places

This is equal to the whole year's quota of Tasmania in 2021-2022 (2200 for 491 and 1100 for 190).

Moreover, it is clearly seen that the quotas for 190 visa permanent residency has been increased significantly

Migration agents and lawyers comments on Tasmania State Nomination 2022-23

The candidates who may be most benefitted by these changes might be the Tasmanian graduates and Tasmanian PhD holders.


Candidates who have not been working in any of the skilled occupations or candidates doing part-time job or people working as subcontractors might be eligible for state nomination.


Also, options might be available for candidates who have been residing in Tasmania from last 2 to 3 years. This is similar to Migration SA’s long term resident option from last program year.


Migration SA had work experience requirements too whereas Tasmania has not mentioned anything about the work experience requirements for long term residents yet. It will be interesting to see if they might have any work experience requirements too


More options might be available for overseas candidates who either have a job offer to work inTasmania or have skills needed by Tasmanian businesses.

Skilled Migration Program (Visa 491,190) QLD - QLD State Nomination 2022-2023

QLD state nomination Update 2022 23 Visa 491 QLD Visa 190 QLD

Queensland has opened its State Nomination for 2022-2023 financial year on 16 August 2022. It has received the Interim allocation of 4,200 (3,000 for 190 and 1,200 for 491).

Onshore applicants can access the full Federal Skilled Occupation List while offshore applicants can only access the 2022–23 QLD Skilled Occupation List (QSOL) below.

There are minimum EOI points requirement – 80 for the 190 visa (except for Trades, which is 75) and 65 for the 491 visa.

There is also minimum English requirement – Proficient English (except for Trades, which is Competent).

Four streams are now available to get the state nomination.

1. Graduates of a Queensland university

This pathway is for high-performing graduates, who have graduated from a Queensland university in a PhD or Doctorate, Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree – and are currently onshore in Queensland.

If you are a PhD or Master graduate (in the STEM field) you may be eligible for a 190 visa, if you are a Master graduate in other fields or a Bachelor graduate, then you need GPA 5.5 and will be eligible for 491 only.

There is no job required for a PhD graduate, but Master and Bachelor graduates need to be employed full-time (35 hours per week) in the nominated or closely related occupation.

2. Skilled workers living in Queensland

If you have been living in Queensland and undertaking full-time post-qualification employment over the past 6 months in your nominated occupation immediately prior to submitting your EOI you will be eligible for the 190 visa.  Instead, if you have 3 months’ work experience, you will be eligible for a 491 visa.

Both 190 and 491 visa applicants need to have a further 12 months full-time ongoing employment.

So, if you are a bachelor graduate and currently working in Queensland, you may be eligible to apply for 190 via this stream.

3. Skilled workers living offshore

You need to have an occupation on the Queensland Skilled Occupation List (QSOL) and have a minimum of 3-years of post-study work experience.

4. Small business owners in regional Queensland

You will need to purchase an existing business in regional Queensland for a minimum of $100,000 or have been operating a PROFITABLE start-up for a minimum of 2 years with a turnover of $200,000.

You need to own 100% of the business and run the business for 6 months, you also need to employ at least one Australian resident for 20 hours per week.

There are also some additional requirements for your business:

  • No vendor financing
  • No share transfer (must have a contract of business sale)
  • Cannot purchase business from family member
  • Cannot relocate or sell a business before receiving approval from MQ
  • Cannot purchase a business previously owned by a 491-SBO applicant
  • Commission agents or leasing agents of franchises (such as petrol stations), and home-based businesses (including those with virtual offices) will not be considered
  • Applicants must operate their business for at least 3 years in a regional area (and may be subject to monitoring) after the grant of the visa.

If you meet the minimum Queensland criteria, you can put in an Express and Interest. However, Invitations will go to the highest points per occupation, and this is likely to vary for each occupation. Other requirements may be considered where there are a large number of EOIs for a particular occupation on the same points – eg. regional location, years of work experience. EOIs will remain in our queue based on the points when they were originally lodged.

If you want to increase your points, it is advised that you make another Express of Interest. As Migration Queensland database and SkillSelect are not linked, Migration Queensland does not know when you have made changes to your EOI which may increase your points. You will remain in its queue in the order of the points you had when you first lodged your EOI.

There is new minimum point scores and years of work experience requirements for this program year.

Each unit group will have different minimum points and year of work experience required.

For example: Accountant needs 110 points and 3 years of work experience for 190 visa

Great news for trades occupations, Teachers, and Social professionals like Social Work or community work.

NSW only requires those unit groups 65 or 70 points and no work experience.

Skilled Migration Program (Visa 491,190) - Victoria State Nomination 2022-2023

The skilled migration program of Victoria is still close for new applications. State Nomination Victoria has announced that they have to wait for the allocation to be confirmed before updating their nomination requirement.

It is expected that this program year 2022-23 will see an expanded eligibility criteria across both skilled migration visa 190 and visa 491 and also open for offshore applicants.

Victoria is known to be the strictest state during covid-19 with only 500 allocations for 491 visa and 3500 for 190 visa. However, the eligible occupations for Victoria State Nomination was limited to STEMM skills.

We hope that they will publish the new policy soon and Work Visa Lawyers will update the requirements here.

Skilled Migration Program 2022-23 in Victoria is finally open on 11/8/2022

State Nomination update Victoria 2022 2023

Open to applicants living in Victoria and overseas, the program provides skilled migrants with a pathway to permanent residency in Victoria. The skills that successful applicants bring to Victoria benefits employers and the broader Victorian economy.

The program provides two visa pathways.

The Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) is a permanent visa for skilled migrants to live and work anywhere in Victoria. The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) is for skilled migrants to live and work in regional Victoria and provides a pathway to permanent residency through thePermanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa (subclass 191).

As with previous years, applicants will first need to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) and then be selected on competitive merit to apply for visa nomination.

Before submitting a ROI, applicants should ensure that they meet all eligibility requirements:

ROIs will be assessed until May 2023.

Victoria State nomination - What happens to existing ROIs Submission in 2021-2022?

The 2021-22 program was highly competitive with over 15,000 Registrations of Interest submitted.

Applicants who were not selected to apply are encouraged to submit a new Victoria Registration of Interest for the 2022-23 program.

VICTORIA SKILLED VISA NOMINATION REQUIREMENT + CHANGES

Victoria is open for nominations from candidates living and working in Victoria and for offshore candidates.

Applicants will first need to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) and then be selected on competitive merit to apply for visa nomination. ROIs will be selected from August 2022 to May 2023.

All occupations on the DoHA’s Skilled Occupation List are now eligible, and applicants are no longer required to be using STEMM skills and working in a target sector to apply.

The ROIs will be selected based on following factors:

  • Age,
  • English language level,
  • Years of experience in your nominated occupation,
  • Education and occupation skill level,
  • Partner’s skill (if applicable),
  • Salary – onshore candidates only.

The following occupation groups will also be prioritised:

  • Healthcare and social services
  • Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
  • Advanced manufacturing, digital and innovation economy
  • Chef, cook, accommodation and hospitality managers – for the 491 visa
  • Early childhood, secondary and special education teachers.

Salary – for onshore candidates only:

You can only include earnings from skilled employment in Victoria, or regional Victoria for subclass 491 visa applicants. Skilled employment includes any role that is at skill levels 1,2 or 3 in the relevant ANZSCO classification.

Skilled employment does not have to be in your nominated occupation, but your earnings must be from skilled employment.

Candidates who may benefit with these changes include:

  • Candidates living and working in Victoria in one of the priority occupations
  • Candidates working in occupation/s at skill level 1,2,or 3 with high earnings.

Visa 190 Victoria State Nomination Requirement

There is no specific requirement for visa 190 except from the basic eligibility criteria.

However, in the process of claiming annual earnings, you must support all your claims of earnings with documents in your applications

All annual earnings that you claimed must be from a skilled employment that includes any role that is at skill level 1,2, or 3.

Visa 491 Victoria State Nomination Requirement

Provided that you have met basic eligibility criteria for 491 visa, you may need to meet other requirements such as:

Work Experience

Applicants must be living and working in regional Victoria by the time they receive the visa nomination

Another interesting part of working in Regional Victoria and the definition of the skilled employment for 491 visa Victoria.

Skilled employment includes any role that is at skill levels 1,2,or 3 in the relevant ANZSCO Classsification. It does not need to be closely related or at the same skill level of your nominated occupation.

For example: if your nominated occupation is Civil Engineering, and you are working as a Mechanical engineer technician, your employment is considered as skilled employment. However, if you are working as a Waitor or Waitress, you are not considered as working in skilled employment and do not meet the requirement.

This has been supported heavily from the state. Their Visa 491 requirement is getting so simple to meet, which is made similar to South Australia Working in regional stream.

As a consequence, with the:

  • Existing ROIs at 15,000 applicants 
  • All occupations are eligible which attracts existing Victoria residents who are working there to lodge ROIs
  • Requirements for 491 are made simple

This will lead to a highly competitive skilled migration program in Victoria even though they receive more quotas than last program years.

Onshore and offshore applicants can now apply

In addition to applicants living in Victoria, we will also be selecting applicants living outside Australia for the subclass 190 visa in all eligible occupations.

For the subclass 491 visa in addition to applicants living in Victoria, applicants living offshore can apply, noting we are currently prioritising health occupations for subclass 491 visa nomination.

More eligible occupations

Victoria no longer requires applicants to be using STEMM skills and working in a target sector to apply.

That means now all occupations on the relevant Department of Home Affairs Occupation List are now eligible to apply for Victoria State Nomination.

Plus the 15,000 existing ROIs from target sectors and STEMM applicants, this will make Victoria extremely competitive.

We are awaiting for the official allocation for Victoria skilled migration program 22-23.

Why was state nomination skilled visa 190 and 491 in 2022-23 shut for a month?

So, let’s look at recent history for some references.

This is not without precedent.

In June 2020, we made a video about the state nominations being closed ‘indefinitely’.  This was because no allocations were given by the Federal Government. 

At the time the video causes a lot of controversies, but it turned out to be accurate. At the time, this was when the Covid 19 pandemic was really taking off.  So, there was a good reason for the Federal government holding back allocations.   They wanted to slow the spread of Covid, and the borders were closed anyway.

In 2020, the states received an interim allocation from 3 September 2020.

Why did we need allocation?

Many people have their visas expiring in Australia Or skills assessment or English tests.  Even worse, some people need to apply for a visa before they turn 45 and are no longer eligible.

Covid has been tough to them and I am sure this late opening date for skilled visa 491 and 190 would cause them a lot of disspointment.

But 2022 is very different.

We will make another video soon where we will provide our view of "When will the State Sponsorships 2022-2023 open?"
