On 7 November 2024, Home Affairs conducted a bespoke SkillSelect invitation round for Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) visas targeting specific occupations experiencing workforce shortages. The round prioritized healthcare professions, including general practitioners, specialist physicians across multiple disciplines (cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, surgery subspecialties), nurses, midwives, and allied health practitioners (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, audiologists). Construction and education sectors were also included, with positions for architects, engineers, teachers, and early childhood educators. The occupation list encompassed approximately 50+ specific ANZSCO-coded roles across healthcare, engineering, architecture, teaching, and construction management, reflecting targeted immigration strategy to address critical skill gaps in these sectors.
