Message just in from Skilled and Business Migration Program, Trade and Industry Development, Department of State Development, Business and Innovation
Melbourne, Victoria:

The Live in Victoria website is in the process of undertaking a major technology upgrade. This will result in a more efficient and reliable service.

This upgrade will require us to take offline the systems for submitting and processing applications for State visa nomination for up to one week.

The applications system will be disabled from 9am Monday 27 October 2014 and will be operating by Monday 3 November 2014.

Please note that applicants and agents will be unable to submit applications for State visa nomination during this time.

The processing of applications recently lodged and already in the system will also be temporarily paused during this time, as our representatives will be unable to access the system while the upgrade is being undertaken.

The Skilled and Business Migration Program will also be unable to answer queries about the progress of applications while the system is down.

The Significant Investor Services Directory and the Overseas Skills Registry application forms will also be unavailable.

We encourage applicants and agents to lodge submissions or make any applications enquiries before the temporary outage.

We apologise to applicants and agents for any inconvenience caused while we make these important system improvements.
