We will continue to assess all nomination applications received prior to 15 May 2018, however delays may occur in providing outcomes for these applications.

Please note that this is only a temporary measure to manage current demands. 

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and encourage you to check our website in the coming weeks to stay up-to-date and apply for skilled migration visa nomination when applications reopen.
