Invitations issued and cut offs
Point scores and the dates of effect cut off for the pro rata occupations in the 11 August, 2020 invitation round
Pro-rata occupations include occupations for which there is more demand for places than there are places available.
SkillSelect first allocates available places to Skilled – Independent visas (subclass 189) and then the remaining to Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) – Family Sponsored. If in case all places are taken up by subclass 189 visas then no invitations will be issued for subclass 491 visas in these occupations.
