Victoria Skilled Migration Program 2025–2026 — Overview
Victoria is one of Australia's most popular states for skilled migration. As Australia's second-largest state economy, Victoria actively recruits skilled professionals from around the world to address critical workforce shortages across healthcare, construction, education, engineering, and technology sectors.
For the 2025–26 program year, Victoria's Skilled Migration Program is open for two visa categories: Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated – Permanent) and Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional – Provisional).

Important: Victoria does not publish a separate state occupation list. Instead, it accepts all occupations listed on the Australian Government's national Skilled Occupation List (SOL), subject to meeting visa and state nomination requirements. However, certain priority sectors receive preference during selection rounds.
What Is the Victoria Occupation List?
The Victoria occupation list — also known as the Victoria state occupation list, Victoria skilled occupation list, or occupation list Victoria — refers to the occupations that Victoria considers when selecting candidates for state nomination under its skilled visa program.
If your occupation appears on this list, it means Victoria may consider nominating you for a skilled visa. It does not guarantee selection, but it makes you eligible to be considered. Having a listed occupation is one part of the picture — Victoria evaluates your entire profile, including points, English proficiency, work experience, and your connection to the state.
Why Does the Victoria Occupation List Matter? State nomination through Victoria adds 5 bonus points (Subclass 190) or 15 bonus points (Subclass 491) to your SkillSelect EOI score — significantly improving your chances of receiving a federal Invitation to Apply (ITA). For applicants who cannot reach competitive CRS scores independently, Victoria nomination is often the most practical route to Australian PR.
How Often Is the List Updated?
The Victoria Australia occupation list is reviewed periodically — typically in line with each financial program year and in response to shifting labour market needs. Occupations can be added, removed, or temporarily paused based on workforce demand. Relying on outdated occupation lists is a common and costly mistake. Always verify the current list directly through the Department of Home Affairs or consult a registered migration agent.
Victoria Visa Pathways — Subclass 190 & 491
Victoria offers two distinct state nomination pathways for skilled migrants. Understanding the difference is critical to choosing the right application strategy.
Subclass 190
Skilled Nominated Visa — Permanent
Victoria's most sought-after pathway. Grants permanent residency allowing you to live and work anywhere in Victoria without restrictions. Requires state nomination from the Victorian Government.

Subclass 491 Tip for Offshore Applicants: If you are applying from outside Australia (e.g., from Pakistan), you are eligible for both the 190 and 491 visas. However, for the 491, priority is limited to occupations in Health, Social Services, and Education (including Early Childhood Education). Plan your occupation and pathway accordingly before submitting your EOI.
Priority Industry Sectors for Victoria 2025–2026
While all eligible occupations on the national SOL may apply for Victoria state nomination, the Victorian Government prioritises nominations from specific high-demand industry sectors. Applicants in these sectors have significantly better chances of receiving an invitation during selection rounds.
Priority Sectors for Subclass 190 (Permanent Visa)
Health
Registered Nurses, GPs, Specialists, Allied Health Professionals. Consistently the highest-demand sector in Victoria.
Social Services
Social Workers, Welfare Workers, Disabilities Services Officers, Community Workers.
Education
Secondary Teachers, Special Needs Teachers, Early Childhood Teachers. Including Early Childhood Education specifically.
Construction
Carpenters, Plumbers, Electricians, Structural Engineers. High demand due to Victoria's major infrastructure pipeline.
New Energy
Renewable energy engineers, environmental engineers, and sustainability-related technical roles.
Additional Priority Sectors for Subclass 491 (Regional Visa)
Digital Economy
Software Engineers, ICT Analysts, Cybersecurity Specialists, Network Engineers.
Advanced Manufacturing
Industrial Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Production Managers, Materials Engineers.
Hospitality & Tourism
Chefs, Hotel Managers, Restaurant Managers. Priority given for regional Victoria locations.
Recent Round Trends (December 2025): Registered Nurses, Secondary Teachers, and Construction Trades (especially Carpenters) dominated Victoria's most recent invitation round. For nurses and teachers, expect a minimum of 80+ points to be competitive. For trade occupations, 65 points may be sufficient in select cases.
Who Can Apply for Victoria State Nomination?
Having an occupation on the Victoria occupation list is just the starting point. The Victorian Government reviews your complete profile when selecting candidates for nomination. Here is what you generally need:
- Occupation on the SOL: Your nominated occupation must appear on the Australian Government's Skilled Occupation List.
- Skills Assessment: A positive skills assessment from the relevant Australian assessing authority for your occupation (e.g., Engineers Australia, ACS, ANMAC, AITSL).
- Points Score: A minimum of 65 points on the SkillSelect EOI (including state nomination bonus points).
- English Proficiency: Strong English scores significantly improve your chances. Most competitive invitations in recent rounds had 20 English points (Superior level).
- Work Experience: Relevant skilled employment in your nominated occupation. Victoria prioritises candidates currently working in their field.
- Commitment to Victoria: You must demonstrate a genuine intention to live and work in Victoria (or regional Victoria for Subclass 491).
- Residency (Onshore): For onshore applicants, you must currently be living in Victoria. ROIs from applicants in other Australian states are generally not selected.
Important for Subclass 491: Onshore applicants must be living and working in skilled employment for an employer physically located in regional Victoria. Offshore applicants are eligible but selection is highly competitive and focused strictly on Health, Social Services, and Education occupations.
How to Apply for Victoria State Nomination — Step by Step
-
1
Skills Assessment
Get your qualifications and work experience assessed by the relevant Australian authority for your ANZSCO occupation code. This is the mandatory first step and can take 2–6 months. Check the assessing authority column in the occupation lists below.
-
2
English Language Test
Complete a recognised English test — IELTS, PTE Academic, or OET. Aim for the highest possible score. Superior English (IELTS 8 in each band) adds 20 points and significantly improves your Victoria nomination chances.
-
3
Submit EOI via SkillSelect
Log in to your ImmiAccount and submit an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect on the Department of Home Affairs website. Select Victoria as your preferred state and nominate Subclass 190, 491, or both.
-
4
Register Interest via Live in Melbourne Portal
Submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) through Victoria's Live in Melbourne portal using your SkillSelect EOI number. This is a separate step from your federal EOI and is specific to Victoria's nomination process.
-
5
Receive Victoria Nomination Invitation
Victoria selects ROIs competitively based on points, occupation demand, English proficiency, work experience, and connection to Victoria. Meeting eligibility does not guarantee nomination — higher-ranking profiles are always prioritised.
-
6
Lodge Visa Application with Department of Home Affairs
Once Victoria nominates you, submit your full visa application through ImmiAccount with all required documents: skills assessment, police clearances, health examination, identity documents, and evidence of work experience.
