Victoria Announces New ROI and Nomination Fees for 2026-27
13 October 2026: Victoria has announced new fees for its 2026-27 skilled visa nomination program. The change affects Registrations of Interest (ROIs) and nomination applications for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491).
Victoria's fees for the 2026-27 program
| Service | Excluding GST (AUD) | Including GST (AUD) |
|---|---|---|
| Registration of Interest | 60 | 66 |
| Subclass 190 nomination application | 180 | 198 |
| Subclass 491 nomination application | 180 | 198 |
GST of 10% applies if the applicant is in Australia at payment. The nomination application fee is payable only after invitation, when an applicant submits a nomination application.
What the charges mean for migration planning
The ROI fee is charged once per program year. Withdrawing and replacing an ROI within the same year does not attract another ROI charge. A new nomination application fee applies each time a nomination application is submitted.
These are state service charges, separate from Australian Government visa application charges. Fees are generally non-refundable, with limited exceptions for administrative or technical errors or services that cannot be provided. Payment does not guarantee selection, invitation or nomination.
Previous ROIs and the opening date
An ROI from a previous program year does not replace a new registration for 2026-27. Applicants seeking consideration need a fresh ROI when the program opens.
Victoria has also published additional information on selection factors and priority industries. The 13 October announcement does not set a program opening date. Applicants should review the new program requirements when released before finalising their plans.
