State and Territory Nomination Allocations for 2025–26 Announced

The Australian Government has confirmed the 2025–26 state and territory skilled visa nomination allocations, setting a total of 20,350 places across Australia. These allocations determine how many new primary applicants each jurisdiction may nominate under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).

Purpose of Nomination Programs

State and territory nomination programs are designed to help jurisdictions meet local workforce and demographic needs, and address critical skills shortages. Each state or territory assesses applicants against its own eligibility criteria, reflecting regional priorities and skill demand.

2025–26 Allocation Breakdown

State/Territory	Subclass 190	Subclass 491
ACT	800	800
NSW	2,100	1,500
NT	850	800
QLD	1,850	750
SA	1,350	900
TAS	1,200	650
VIC	2,700	700
WA	2,000	1,400

Grand Total: 20,350 nomination places

How Allocations Are Set

On 4 November 2025, the Australian Government set the allocation numbers for the 2025–26 program year.
They consider:

each jurisdiction’s workforce and demographic needs
the number of on-hand visa applications
overall Migration Program planning levels

Note: Nomination allocations represent the number of applicants a state or territory may nominate—not the number of visa grants.

If you’re looking for a sign that you’ve chosen the right migration agent — this is it. Many can become migration agents, but not everyone does their work with genuine care and heart. That’s why choosing a migration agent with genuine care and compassion for their clients is so important. And Bill Mitroulas of Questra Immigration is definitely one of them. Our gratitude to Bill and the Questra Team is beyond words — they were the ones who made it possible for us to achieve the future we’ve been dreaming of here in Australia. Even though the process wasn’t easy and at times felt almost impossible, Bill and the Questra Team stood by us and helped us successfully complete our PR application. And because of the positive outcome of our PR application, we were able to get the house we’ve always dreamed of. In behalf of my partner, Jhoseph Paxton, we want to thank you, Bill and the Questra Team, for changing our lives — giving my children a future filled with hope and opportunity. I pray for Questra's continued success.✨
