The Australian immigration program is facing significant uncertainty as we reach mid-August 2025. The Australian Government has not yet released the Migration Planning Levels for 2025/2026, delaying key skilled visa programs and causing stress for many applicants.

In this month’s Australian immigration update, we cover:

Changes to English test requirements for Australian visas
An increase in international student enrolments for 2026
Which state is best for a National Innovation Visa nomination
Updated visa processing times in Australia
Delays affecting partner visa applications
At Work Visa Lawyers, we specialise in assisting individuals, families, and employers through the complex Australian visa process. Contact us if you need assistance to apply for an Australian visa.

No Migration Planning Levels Yet – Impact on Skilled Visas
As of mid-August, the Migration Planning Level for 2025/2026 has not been announced. Without this, states and territories have not opened applications for:

Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa
Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional Visa
The last Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa invitation round was in November 2024.

Last year, allocations were announced in May. The only other delay of this scale occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic — but no such crisis is affecting us now.

Rather than speculating on the cause of the delay, applicants should prepare to lodge their Expression of Interest (EOI) by ensuring they have:

A valid skills assessment (within the last 3 years)
A valid English test result (within the last 3 years)
Evidence of skilled work experience such as contracts and payslips


More International Student Places in 2026
The Albanese Government has announced 295,000 international student places for 2026, an increase of 25,000 compared to 2025.

All active international education providers will receive at least the same allocation as this year.

For those planning to study in Australia:

Choose your course carefully to align with your migration pathway
Consider the level of study and post-study visa options such as the Subclass 485 Graduate Visa
Ensure you meet the student visa English requirements
English Test Updates – More Accepted Tests and New Score Requirements
From 7 August 2025, there are now nine accepted English language tests for many Australian visa applications, including three new tests:

Cambridge C1 Advanced (C1 Advanced)
CELPIP General (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program) – New test
IELTS Academic, including One Skill Retake (OSR)
IELTS General Training, including One Skill Retake (OSR)
LanguageCert Academic – New test
Michigan English Test (MET), including Single Section Retake (SSR) – New test
Occupational English Test (OET)
PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English)
TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language – Internet-Based Test)
