Contributory Parent, Parent and Other Family visa caps
The Migration (Granting of Contributory Parent Visas, Parent Visas and Other Family Visas During Financial Year 2025-26) Instrument 2026 determines the maximum number of contributory parent visas, parent visas and other family visas that can be granted during the 2025-2026 financial year between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026 (inclusive).

If you're planning to move in with your partner in Australia, start collecting these documents from day one, as they could be crucial for your future partner visa application:
• A shared lease agreement or mortgage documents showing both names
• Rent or mortgage payment history from a joint account or shared contributions
• Utility bills such as electricity, water, gas, or internet addressed to both of you
• Mail, emails, or official correspondence sent to the same residential address
• Evidence of how you share household responsibilities, such as written statements or records of shared expenses

The earlier you start documenting your life together, the stronger your evidence may show that your relationship has been genuine and ongoing over time.
If you're planning a partner visa pathway, contact us to discuss your options.

Do you need to update your age in your EOI?

The answer is no as the system automatically does that.

You should also receive an email notification advising that your points score has changed.

However, it's still a good idea to regularly review your EOI and ensure all other information remains accurate and up to date.

You could be taking a longer and more expensive pathway than necessary
if you're going through the 482 → 186 TRT pathway when you already qualify for the 186 Direct Entry stream
For a subclass 482 visa, the process typically involves:
* Standard Business Sponsorship(SBS) application- 420 AUD
* nomination application-330 AUD
* Skilling Australians Fund(SAF) levy-charged yearly
* labour market testing (LMT) - potential ads cost
* and the visa application fee
In addition, when transitioning to the 186 TRT stream later, there are further nomination and visa application fees, as well as additional SAF levy payments for the 186 visa after completing two years on a 482 visa.
By comparison, the 186 Direct Entry stream may allow eligible applicants and employers to proceed directly to permanent residency through a single nomination and visa process.

4-step PR pathway for Registered Nurses (without employer sponsorship)
1️⃣ Complete a Bachelor degree or higher nursing qualification.
2️⃣ Obtain registration with AHPRA as a Registered Nurse.
3️⃣ Gain a positive skills assessment.
If your nominated occupation is registered nurse Not Elsewhere Classified, employment experience may not be required for the skills assessment application. However, if applying under certain nursing specialisations, you may need to provide a professional reference demonstrating at least 3 months of paid work experience within the last 5 years.
4️⃣ Lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) for:
* subclass 189
* and eligible state or territory nominated visas such as subclass 190 or 491.
Please note that meeting these steps does not guarantee an invitation.

Receiving an invitation is only the first step, here are some common EOI mistakes that can put your invitation at risk.
Changes in marital status that affect partner points claimed in your EOI,
Claimed work experience that may not meet the skilled employment requirements, for example:
• not in your nominated occupation or a closely related occupation
• not recognised by the relevant assessing authority
Important documents that have expired, such as your skills assessment, English test, or other evidence relied upon for your points.
If you've received an invitation and would like assistance with preparing your application and supporting documents, contact us for professional guidance.

If you had the same points but didn’t get invited, this is usually why:
EOIs are first ranked by points.
But when points are the same, the system then looks at when your EOI reached that score.This is called the “tie-break date” or “date of effect”.
For example, if the cut-off for your occupation is 80 points, and both you and your friend have 80 points, but your friend reached 80 earlier and updated their EOI sooner, they can still be prioritised in the invitation round.
