21 March: Victoria issues pre-invitations
Auditing, accounting, finance and more
all make it through!
Today’s ROI invitations weren’t limited to the fast-track occupations — Victoria also released its March round at the same time. Below is the invitation data we had collated by this afternoon. If you’ve received more invitations, we’d love you to share them with us!
Some features of this round —
– Multipleaccounting/auditing applicants invited, with the lowest score around 90 points —slightly friendlier than NSW
– Victoria continues to giveoffshore applicants a chance; this round includedan 85-point Financial Investment Manager and a 75+5-point Management Consultant,as well assome IT occupations shared from elsewhere. Overall, though, Victoria issues slightly fewer offshore invitations than NSW, and across a narrower range of occupations.
– IT and engineering/construction also received invitations —around 85 points is enough for engineering/construction, butmost of the IT applicants invited had strong work experience or high salaries
Of course, the biggest winners were still the Priority occupations — too many invitations to count.
Victorian Subclass 491
no longer requires work in regional Victoria
open to applicants across all of Victoria
As at the end of February,Victoria still had 1,892 places left for Subclass 491 — a take-up rate below 50% — so the State Government is keeping the momentum going byannouncing that Subclass 491 is open to all applicants within the state, and removing the requirement to have worked in regional Victoria!
So from 21 March, applying for the Victorian Subclass 491 only requires:
– An EOI of at least 65 points (base score of at least 50)
– A skills assessment in any eligible migration occupation
– Residence in Victoria or overseas
– English: 6 in each band
– Aged under 45
