We have now received sufficient nomination applications to fill the total allocations for the 2024-25 program year. To manage the large number of applications received against the limited allocation of nominations given to the Northern Territory we have suspended our online portal for new applications. All applications received before the suspension will continue to be assessed, and those who meet the eligibility criteria will be issued nominations.
The program will be reopened for new applications once nomination allocations are received for the 2025-26 program year.
During the suspension, applications will continue to be accepted by exception for onshore applicants who have the following visa deadlines before 1 July 2025:
- Those who have visas expiring before1 July 2025 and not eligible for a Temporary Graduate Visa
- Those who are due to become ineligible for the GSM program due to attaining a certain age before 1 July 2025 (e.g. turning 45 or losing points for age, bringing the total migration points to below 65)
Please note that we may not be able to guarantee nominations before visa expiry dates.
Those who are onshore and have visas expiring should seek professional advice on their visa options and ensure that they remain lawful in Australia.
