Subclass 189 Invitation Round Resumes After Nine Months

By Vikrant Singh, August 21, 2025

After a nine-month pause, a new round of invitations for the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent visa has finally taken place. The last round occurred back in November 2024, making today’s announcement a welcome surprise for many skilled professionals.

This latest round brought good news for several in-demand sectors, including construction, healthcare, and education. Occupations invited include carpenters, painters, engineers, nurses, doctors, and teachers – a clear signal that the government is prioritising critical workforce needs.

While invitations have been issued, the Department of Home Affairs has not yet released the allocation numbers for the Subclass 189, Subclass 190, or Subclass 491 visas. This lack of clarity has left many waiting for further details, particularly those hoping for upcoming state nomination opportunities.

Today’s development is seen as a positive step forward for skilled migration applicants, with hopes that new allocation figures will be announced soon to allow state and territory programs to reopen.

We’ll continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. Follow us for the latest on Australian immigration news and invitation rounds.
