TeeTMI Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) The Dept of Home Affairs have announced that they will run quarterly invitations between now and the end of June (as opposed to monthly previously). "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 will run quarterly invitation rounds for the remainder of 2020-21 program year. The next invitation round will run in January 2021." This applies to 189 and 491 (family sponsored) EOIs. Note: State or territory government nominations for Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) will not be impacted by the departmental invitation rounds. Note also : Recent invitations have only been made to people considered to hold 'Critical/Priority' skills needed to assist Australia's COVID response.
