New South Wales (NSW)

GSM nomination program 2025/2026

The New South Wales nomination program for subclasses 190 (Skilled Nominated) and 491 (Skilled Work Regional) is currently closed and details relating to the 2025/2026  program year have yet to be announced.

Places will continue to be competitive with priority focussed on applicants who have skills and employment experience which are in demand and will benefit the state.

The first stage of the visa process is to apply for a skills assessment with the relevant Australian authority and lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI). In this interim period, you may wish to consider arranging a consultation with the registered migration agent to discuss your visa prospects and pathway. Lodging an EOI once a positive skills assessment has been issued will place you in a position to be viewed in the Department of Home Affairs SkillSelect data-base by the state once the program commences.
