Victoria has announced new fees for Registrations of Interest (ROIs) and nomination applications under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) programs, commencing with the 2026–27 program year.
Updated Fees for 2026-27:
| Application type | Excluding GST | Including GST |
| Registration of Interest (ROI) | $60 | $66 |
| Subclass 190 nomination application | $180 | $198 |
| Subclass 491 nomination application | $180 | $198 |
Fee rules
- GST: A 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies if the applicant is in Australia at the time of payment. The applicable fee is calculated when the application form is completed.
- Nomination application fees: These are payable only if the applicant receives an invitation and proceeds to submit a nomination application.
- ROI fee: The fee is charged once per program year. Applicants who withdraw their ROI and submit a new one during the same program year will not be charged again.
If you submitted an ROI in a previous program year and want to be considered in 2026-27, you must log in to the Live in Melbourne portal and submit a new ROI when the program opens.
Applicants who submitted an ROI in a previous program year and wish to be considered for the 2026–27 program must log in to the Live in Melbourne portal and submit a new ROI once the program opens. Victoria has also published further information about how ROIs are assessed and selected for invitation, including the weighting of Victorian Points Test factors, priority industries and additional industry considerations.
Applicants should review these selection criteria carefully before submitting an ROI or nomination application.
Information about the 2026-27 program will be published on the Live in Melbourne website when it is available.
