Occupation Ceilings updated today on Home Affairs website
Occupation ceilings updated for 2018-19 migration program
Occupation ceilings have been updated for 2018-19 migration program. The Department of Home Affairs has published the new occupation ceilings on its website today.
An 'occupation ceiling' might be applied to invitations issued under the independent, skilled regional (provisional) visas. This means there will be a limit on how many EOIs can be selected for skilled migration from an occupation group. This ensures that the skilled migration program is not dominated by a small number of occupations. Once this limit is reached, no further invitations for that particular occupation group will be issued for that program year. Invitations will then be allocated to intending migrants in other occupation groups even if they are lower ranking.

Accounting is closed in ACT, what are the thoughts in regards to this occupation moving forward? Is it going to be removed from the list in other states? Last invitations were at 90 points and Acc graduates are moving to Tassie or NT to get better chances in getting PR, it doesn’t look good for Accountants
