Invitation points changes for six occupations Group and Nominations by State and Territory Governments

Due to the continuing high numbers of EOIs received for the below occupations, invitations for some occupations (ICT Business and Systems Analysts, Accountants, Software and Applications Programmers) will be issued on a pro rata basis in each twice monthly invitation round over the 2014-15 programme year. These arrangements are subject to change throughout the programme year. Please also note that SkillSelect first allocates available places to Skilled – Independent (Subclass 189) visas and then remaining to Skilled – Regional (Subclass 489) (Provisional – Family Sponsored) visas. If all places are taken up by Subclass 189 visas then there will be no invitations issued for Subclass 489 visas in these occupations:

The points scores and the visa dates of effect cut-offs for the occupations in 28 July 2014 invitation round is as follows:
