Frequently asked questions
How is the ranking in IT & digital worked out?
We add up the EOIs SkillSelect reported as invited for each occupation in the months of each subclass 189 round over the window shown, then rank them. Occupations invited with a group of fewer than 20 are counted as 10, because SkillSelect does not publish the exact number.
Does a high rank in IT & digital mean it is easier to get invited?
No. A high rank means the occupation takes a large share of invitations, which helps, but the points cut-off decides whether you are invited. Check the cut-off column alongside the rank.
Do IT & digital occupations get priority visa processing?
No. Ministerial Direction 119 gives priority processing to construction, healthcare and teaching occupations only, and agriculture and fisheries were announced as future additions. Occupations in this sector are processed in the standard order.
