Skilled migration programs across Australia are experiencing significant uptake in the first eight months of the 2023-24 financial year (July 1, 2023 - February 29, 2024).

Key findings:

  • High Demand: All states and territories reported strong interest in both Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa) and Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa) programs, with over 60% of allocated visas used in most jurisdictions.

  • Victoria Leads: Victoria saw the highest uptake in Subclass 190 applications, with 84.3% of its allocation used (2,275 out of 2,700). Western Australia closely followed with 96.5% utilization (1,448 out of 1,500).

  • Northern Territory Nears Capacity: The Northern Territory has used over 96% of its Subclass 190 allocation (241 out of 250), indicating near exhaustion of available visas.

  • ACT and Tasmania Follow Trend: The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Tasmania show similar trends with over 78% of their Subclass 190 allocations used.

  • Substantial Interest in 491 Visas: All states and territories except Queensland witnessed over 60% utilization of their Subclass 491 allocations, highlighting consistent demand for regional skilled migration pathways.

  • Western Australia Leads in 491 Applications: Western Australia saw the highest uptake in Subclass 491 visas, with over 90% of its allocation used (772 out of 850).
