Grants as per FOI data available

Particularly in the month of July 23 for 491 and 190

July is a prime month for grants - decreasing backlog and making way for new invites!

Ozdrims · June 20

190 Grant Allocations for incoming FY is 33,000

Back log as at Apr 2024 close to 37,000

Ozdrims · June 20

Expected backlog by June 2024 for the same is 34000

Ozdrims · June 20

They will still give invites as it is a cycle - one gets to be invited in a year and gets granted next year - given the same settings and grants are graduated for non-prio.

Ozdrims · June 20

These includes 189 and 491 backlogs as at Apr 2024

This means po ba na magkakaroon pa ng around 3k grants before july 1, kaya bababa from 37k to 34k?

There are a few grants made from May to June and a few more invites. Malalaman natin exactly if may FOI to DHA , but i saw one migration geek estimated it na by Jun 24 will see 34k backlog.

Heto Analysis nya

SUBCLASS 190: Planning Levels and State Allocation

Lets look at what happened this FY (2023-24)

• Total Visa Backlog as at 31 July 2023: 48,643 (from an FOI)

• We can assume around 2000 visa lodgements in July 2023 from invites issued in May and June 2023.

• Therefore Total Visa Backlog as at 30 June 2023: 46, 643 (we entered FY2023-24 with this backlog)

• Planning Level for FY2023-24 = 30,400

• State Allocation for FY2023-24 = 10,300

So, we entered this FY with a visa backlog of 46,643 (primary+secondary).

The total number of grants planned for this FY were 30,400 (primary+secondary). So the backlog was almost 1.5 times compared to the Planning Level.

Despite the above, States were allocated 10,300 new nomination places (primary applicants). This translates to:
10,300 X 1.8 (approx. family size) = 18540 new visa lodgements

🇦🇺Whats happening coming FY?

Planning Level for FY2024-25: 33000

Approx. Expected Backlog as at 30 June 2024:

(46643 last backlog + 18540 new lodgements - 30,400 grants during FY as per planning level) = 34,782 (primary+secondary)

🍏 Conclusion:

FY2023-24, we entered FY with backlog (46643) = 1.5 X Planning Level (30,400) and still received 10,300 new state allocations.

This FY looks much better.

We are entering new FY with backlog (34,782) which is about the same as the FY2024-25 Planning Level (33,000).

🚨What does this means for State Allocations ?

One can expected it to be higher than this FY:

can be upto 50% higher = 10,300 X 1.5 ~= 15K places (primary)

Open to thoughts, opinions, discussions

P.S. Government is trying to reduce migration intake overall, we have seen the projected levels for coming years. Regardless, we are entering coming FY in a much healthy state than we entered last FY.

Heto naman for 491:

SUBCLASS 491: Planning Levels and State Allocation

Lets look at what happened this FY (2023-24)

This is a follow up to this post:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/australiavisagrants/permalink/1091280025297486/

Backlog as at 31 July 2023: 43051 (old FOI)

Estimate at 30 June 2023: 42000 (assuming net 1000 lodged in July 2023 based on May/June invites)

FY2023-24 Planning Level: 32300

Estimated 491 Family size: 2.5

FY2023-24 State Allocation: 6400 (which equates to 6400X2.5 Family size = 16000 new lodgements)

We entered FY2023-24 with ~43K visa backlog which was around 1.35 times the FY2023-24 planning level (32300). We still got 6400 new state nomination places.

🚨 FY2024-25 Planning Level = 33000

Expected Backlog at 30 June 2024:

(42000+16000-32300) = 25700 (Only 0.8 times that of planning level of 33000)

🚨 Conclusion:

We entered FY2023-24 with backlog 1.35 times the FY2023-24 planning level, but we are entering FY2024-25 with backlog only 0.8 times its planning level.

Expect higher state allocation for coming FY, potentially 1.5X to 2X of this FY (10000 to 12000 nomination places)

Thoughts and opinions welcome in comments
