Australia Immigration SkillSelect Invitation Round – 21 Oct 2020


Australia Immigration SkillSelect Invitation Round Update

Invitation rounds for Australia Immigration under Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) – Family Sponsored visas are run once a month.

The Government is closely monitoring migration and visa settings to ensure they are consistent with public health measures, are flexible and do not displace job opportunities for Australians, so that Australia can effectively respond to the immediate and subsequent impacts of COVID-19. As such, targeted invitation rounds have occurred since May 2020.

The Department of Home Affairs issued 110 invitations on 21 October 2020. 30 invitations were issued under Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) and 80 invitations were issued under Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) – Family Sponsored.
