Australian Expression of Interest Results
A total of 1105 EOIs were selected on 27th April 2016.
This therefore means that 1,100 Skilled Independent (sub-class 189) and 5 Skilled Regional (sub-class 489 family sponsored) were invited to apply on 27th April 2016.
If all places are taken up by Subclass 189 visas then there will be no invitations issued for Subclass 489 visas in these occupations:
- Accountants
- ICT Business and Systems Analysts
- Software and Applications Programmers
The highest ranked clients by points score are invited to apply for the relevant visa. For clients who have equal points scores, the time at which they reached their points score for that subclass (referred to as the visa date of effect) determines their order of invitation. Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.
