Occupation ceilings for the 2015-16 programme year are published periodically on the Immigration website.
Invitation rounds will space out the invitations over the financial year allocation of skilled visas.
The Department uses this approach to manage skill and occupation supply and demand in the labor market. As the table below shows, 700 skilled Independent visa invitations were issued for 189 visas.
The key to obtaining an invitation is to ensure points are highest if you are in a low priority occupation. Contact us if you require up to date information on priority occupations.
