190 and 491 Visa State Numbers 2024–25

The Department of Home Affairs has officially released the 2024–25 state and territory nomination allocations for the 190 and 491 visas.

Why Are These Allocations Important?
The Skilled Independent 189 visa allocations have been nearly halved, from 30,375 in 2023-2024 to only 16,900 for 2024-2025. This significant reduction means that more people will be aiming for state-nominated 190 and 491 visas, making these allocations crucial.

The more state allocations there are, the better your chances of getting a visa.

Analysis and Patterns
The pattern is clear: states defined as regional have received the largest increases in allocations.

The overall strategy appears to focus on increasing the number of 190 PR visas for WA, SA, and NT, while NSW and Victoria saw most of their increases in the regional 491 visa, aimed at dispersing migrants outside Melbourne and Sydney.

Queensland's reduction in numbers was at the request of the QLD government.

It seems the Federal Government is worried about housing shortages and so is looking to give visas for regional areas.

While these allocations won't make everyone happy, they are a significant improvement over the across-the-board 70% reduction from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024 year.

If state nomination isn’t an option for you, consider exploring employer-sponsored visas.
