Invitation process and cut offs
The highest ranked clients by points score are invited to apply for the relevant visa. For clients who have equal points scores, the time at which they reached their points score for that subclass (referred to as the visa date of effect) determines their order of invitation. Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.
| Visa Subclass | Points score | Visa date of effect |
|---|---|---|
| Skilled – Independent (subclass 189) | 70 | 16/06/2017 5:23 am |
| Skilled – Regional Provisional (subclass 489) | 60 | 11/07/2017 6:20 am |
