Official Update: Subclass 189 Invitation Round Confirmed for 13th November 2025
The Department of Home Affairs has officially announced that the next Subclass 189 Skilled Independent visa invitation round will take place on 13th November 2025.
This news has brought a wave of excitement and anticipation among skilled professionals across Australia and overseas who have been waiting for an opportunity to receive an invitation under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program.
Focus of the November 2025 Invitation Round
According to the Department, this upcoming round will prioritize key occupations that are currently in high demand throughout Australia. The main focus areas include:-
- Health Professionals including nurses, doctors, and allied health experts.
- Teachers and Educators, particularly in early childhood, secondary, and special education sectors.
- Construction and Trade Workers such as electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and engineers.
- Social and Community Service Workers to support growing needs in community welfare, aged care, and social support roles.
This round reflects Australia’s ongoing commitment to addressing its national skill shortages by inviting qualified professionals who can contribute directly to the country’s workforce and economic development.
Why You Should Update Your Expression of Interest (EOI)
If you’ve already submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the GSM program, now is the perfect time to review and update your details.
You must make sure that your:-
- Qualifications are accurately listed and up to date.
- Employment history reflects your most recent experience.
- English test scores are valid and competitive.
- Skills assessment results are current and properly attached.
Even a minor update can significantly impact your ranking and eligibility for an invitation. Remember, the Subclass 189 visa operates on a points-based system. Thus, every detail counts when it comes to improving your overall score.
Why This Round is So Important
The November 2025 invitation round is expected to be one of the most significant and competitive rounds of the year.
