Frequently asked questions
Is this migration advice on my specific Victorian state nomination?
No. The Playbook is general information about the published Victorian state nomination framework. Whether you are a competitive candidate for the current round is individual and requires migration advice on your specific points score, occupation and circumstances.
Does it guarantee Victoria will nominate me?
No. State nomination is competitive and decided by the Victorian Skilled & Business Migration Program (or the current administering body) on criteria they publish and apply. Section 15 of the Migration Agents Code of Conduct 2022 prohibits any guarantee of outcome.
Does it cover both the 190 and 491?
Yes — both the Subclass 190 (PR) and Subclass 491 (provisional regional, 5-year visa with a 191 PR pathway), including how Victoria treats sectors and regional designations.
