With the changing of FY what are the things that we should do or update po?

Do we need to withdraw certain ROIs or EOIs and re lodge?

Or do we just keep on waiting po? Paki-advice naman po.

Great News!

⚡️ FY2024-25 State Allocation Increased by 56%, from 16700 places in FY2023-24 to 26000 places

"Queensland will see its state-nominated permanent skilled migration allocation reduced from 900 to 600 spots, and temporary visas reduced from 650 to 600."

"Meanwhile, SA will receive an extra 1900 visas, while Tasmania and WA will each receive an additional 1500. WA will also receive an additional 1000 temporary spots as the state struggles with severe housing shortages.

In total, the federal government will grant 26,000 visa places under the state-nominated schemes, 14,000 short of what was requested."

"The ACT and NT will also see a major proportional increase in the number of permanent and temporary visa allocations. The NT will increase from 650 to 1200, while the ACT will increase from 1200 to 1800."

♦️Someone please check the calc below (bit late at night)

(26000-16700) + 350 - 1900 - 1500 - 1500 - 1000 - 600 - 550

= 2600 must be the increase for NSW+VIC

Queensland to cop skilled migrant cut amid boost to smaller states
Tom Rabe
Tom RabeWA political correspondent
Jul 1, 2024
The number of skilled migrants allocated to Queensland will be cut this year despite the rest of the country receiving almost 10,000 more workers as part of an Albanese government shake-up of its immigration system.
Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania will be the big winners out of the federal government’s move to re-profile its state-nominated visa schemes. They will each receive at least an extra 1500 permanent skilled migrant visa nominations in 2024-25.

Queensland will be the only Australian state to suffer a reduction in the number of skilled migrant allocations this financial year. Peter Rae
Federal Immigration Minister Andrew Giles said the move, which will result in almost 10,000 more skilled migrant spots provided to the states, was designed to address skills shortages in areas of the country most in need.
“Our approach is fairer and will get the skilled workers our country needs, turning the page on a decade of a broken system,” he said.
“The Albanese government is ensuring skilled workers can bring their knowledge and skills to areas across the country that need it the most – without contributing to further backlogs, delays, and waitlists.”

However, Queensland will see its state-nominated permanent skilled migration allocation reduced from 900 to 600 spots, and temporary visas reduced from 650 to 600.
The reduction comes after Queensland Premier Steven Miles backed federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s proposal to slash migration in a bid to ease the pressure on housing earlier this year.

Mr Miles said the federal Coalition had taken up his own policy for a halving of overseas arrivals.
Meanwhile, SA will receive an extra 1900 visas, while Tasmania and WA will each receive an additional 1500. WA will also receive an additional 1000 temporary spots as the state struggles with severe housing shortages.
In total, the federal government will grant 26,000 visa places under the state-nominated schemes, 14,000 short of what was requested.
The state-nominated program represents about half of all skilled migrant visas handed out by Australia each year. The remaining half are determined directly by the federal government.
The federal government wants to address the disparity of where permanent skilled workers are located, after Tasmania, the ACT and Northern Territory attracted less than 1 per cent of those visa holders last financial year.
The ACT and NT will also see a major proportional increase in the number of permanent and temporary visa allocations. The NT will increase from 650 to 1200, while the ACT will increase from 1200 to 1800.
“Unlike the former Liberal government, we understand that a one size fits all approach to migration doesn’t work,” Mr Giles said.
WA Premier Roger Cook lauded the government’s move on Sunday, saying it was an acknowledgement that the mining state was in a unique position compared to the rest of the country. Perth’s vacancy rate is hovering well below 1 per cent.
Queensland recorded a population growth rate of 2.6 per cent in the 12 months to December 2023, above the national average of 2.5 per cent, according to the state government.
Meanwhile, WA grew by more than 3 per cent during that period, with its population tipped to exceed 3 million within the next year.
About 5000 additional skilled migrant places will be created under a newly established WA Designated Area Migration Agreement, while the State Nominated Migration Program will increase from roughly 2300 to 5000.

Thanks.

you have to go into your EOI and put it in I believe, there should be an option to update it so you can put in the 1 year AU experience which is +5 points, unless EOI has changed since 2-3 years when I initially have done it

all the best!

God Bless!

Thanks.

If you've added that career episode previously in the EOI with no end date, meaning you are currently employed under that, then the EOI should automatically update and detect your points.

You can also double check this by logging into your EOI.

Actually, I expected to receive an email today informing me of this update, but none, I guess I need to update it manually. Thank you
