Australia's financial year ends on 30 June every year. The Australian government implements major migration policy updates, fee increases, and salary threshold changes from 1 July. For visa applicants, this is one of the most important dates in the immigration calendar.

State nomination rounds close, skilled migration invitation rounds close, and any unclaimed places from this year's migration program lapse until the next cycle begins. Skilled visa applicants, temporary visa holders, and employer-sponsored workers who lodge before 30 June secure lower fees, current salary thresholds, and a place in this year's program.

Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)

The Subclass 189 is Australia's points-tested permanent residency visa. It requires no employer or state sponsorship and grants the right to live and work anywhere in Australia permanently and is one of the most sought-after PR pathways for skilled professionals.

The visa operates under a four-tier occupation priority model — Tier 1 critical shortage occupations receive most invitations while IT, accounting, and general engineering roles have moved to Tier 3 or Tier 4. The final invitation window for the current program year closes on 30 June. Update your SkillSelect EOI, confirm your skills assessment is valid, and ensure your points score is as strong as possible before the year closes.

Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)

The Subclass 190 is a permanent residency visa requiring nomination from an Australian state or territory government. It adds 15 points to your score and is one of the most reliable PR pathways for skilled professionals who cannot compete for a Subclass 189 invitation.

State nomination allocations are finite and most states are in their final quota window for the current program year. When a state closes its nominations, it does not reopen until 1 July. Applicants who meet state occupation and points requirements should lodge their nomination interest before 30 June to be considered under the current year's allocation.
 

Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491)

The Subclass 491 is a five-year provisional regional visa with a direct pathway to permanent residency through the Subclass 191 after three years of regional living and work. It adds 15 points to your score — the single largest points boost available in Australia's migration system.

With Subclass 189 rounds stalled and Subclass 190 quotas running down, the 491 is the most realistic PR pathway for applicants scoring between 60 and 80 points. Regional areas including Perth, Adelaide, and the Gold Coast qualify. State nomination allocations reset on 1 July — lodge your nomination interest before 30 June to secure a place in this year's program.
 

Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa (subclass 191)

The Subclass 191 is the permanent residency pathway for Subclass 491 and 494 visa holders who have completed three years of regional living and work and met the minimum income requirements. It is the final step to Australian PR for regional provisional visa holders.

If you have held a Subclass 491 or 494 visa for at least three years and met the income threshold, you are eligible to apply now. Lodging before 30 June gives you the best chance of securing your PR grant within the current program year's allocation.
 

Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)

The Subclass 485 allows international graduates who studied in Australia to live and work temporarily after completing their degree. It is the primary stepping stone from international study to skilled migration and Australian PR.

EOFY is a critical planning point for 485 holders. English test scores and skills assessments must remain valid, and your EOI must be active and updated before 30 June to be considered in the current program year's invitation rounds. Graduates who plan their PR pathway now are better positioned for the new program year beginning 1 July.

Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186)

The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) are two of Australia’s main employer-sponsored visa pathways. The 482 is a temporary work visa while the 186 grants permanent residency through employer nomination.

The Core Skills Income Threshold increases from AUD 76,515 to AUD 79,499 on 1 July. Employer nominations lodged before 30 June are assessed under the current lower threshold. If your employer is sponsoring your visa, ensure your nomination is lodged before the deadline to lock in current salary requirements.
 

Student visa (subclass 500)

The Subclass 500 is Australia's primary student visa for international students enrolled in a registered Australian course. It covers undergraduate, postgraduate, vocational, and English language programs across all major institutions.

Visa application fees increase on 1 July and genuine student requirements are reviewed with each new program year. Lodging your Subclass 500 application before 30 June secures current fee rates and ensures your application is assessed under existing policy settings.

What Are the Major Changes in Australian Visa Rules on 1 July?
 

Every year on 1 July, the Department of Home Affairs implements a range of updates across fees, salary thresholds, and program allocations. Here is a summary of the key changes taking effect this year:

Nominations and applications lodged before 30 June are assessed under current settings. Any application lodged on or after 1 July is subject to the new thresholds and fees.

Australia Visa Checklist Before 30 June
 

Make sure your visa profile, documents, and eligibility requirements are up to date before 30 June. Use this checklist to avoid delays and stay prepared for the new migration program year:
