NSW is committed to processing all applications in these occupational groups that were received before 5 August 2013. NSW current assessment timeframe is up to 12 weeks. Applicants will receive an outcome on their application within this timeframe.
New applications in these occupational groups
Due to the large number of applications that NSW had already received in these occupations at the time that pro-rata change was announced, NSW is currently unable to accept new State Nomination (subclass 190) applications under these occupational groups.
The effect of this policy change limits the number of people that NSW can nominate in these occupations in 2013/14. As a result, NSW suspended these occupational categories on 06 August 2013.
NSW is committed to processing all applications in these occupational groups that were received before the suspension. NSW current assessment timeframe is up to 12 weeks. Applicants will receive an outcome on their application within this timeframe.
