Skilled Occupations for SkillSelect
Skilled independent visas (subclass 189), skilled regional sponsored visas (subclass 489), and skilled or business state or territory sponsored visas (for example the subclass 190 visa) are each subject to “occupation ceilings” which means that the number of invitations that can be issued through SkillSelect each year for each occupation are limited or capped. If the limit for the relevant occupation has been reached, applicants will not be successful in their application.
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection publishes the occupation ceilings and the relevant ceilings for the 2017-18 programme as well as the number of invitations which have been made to date can be accessed via the following link: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil#tab-content-3
We recommend that you apply sooner rather than later to ensure that your occupation is still available.
