Victoria 12 October Round — ROI Pre-Invitations

Invitation data collected up to the afternoon of the issue date is as follows:

In the previous round, Victoria issued many invitations for ICT and engineering roles, mostly to offshore applicants. Education and healthcare occupations are also a priority for Victoria this financial year. Looking at both rounds together, Victoria’s invitation strategy remains quite clear. Moreover, the invitation scores for the Big Three occupations tend to be lower. A key reason is that these occupations were prioritised by Victoria, other states, or under the 189 pathway in the previous financial year, so there was not a significant backlog of high-scoring applicants.

One of our early childhood education clients who received an invitation received the ROI pre-invitation in the morning, submitted the formal application at 2 pm, and received the official nomination just 6 minutes later. This demonstrates that the state government does not have a large case backlog — rather, insufficient quota allocation has significantly limited the number of invitations issued. Many applicants with similar scores and circumstances did not receive an invitation.

The early childhood education express is still running!

This round also reassured early childhood education and other Big Three professions — Victoria’s favouritism is still going strong!If you have already completed 3 years of tertiary study in Australia (in any discipline)，, completing a one-year Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education can exempt you from language requirements for your skills assessment
