Описание: 📌 189 Visa “4-Tier Model” Explained | New 2025 Skilled Independent Visa Changes | Australia PR Update

The 189 Skilled Independent visa system has fundamentally changed with the introduction of a new 4-Tier prioritisation model. In this video, we break down what the Tiers really mean, how occupation ceilings now work, and how these changes impact your Australia PR strategy for 2025–2026.

🔍 What’s new in the 4-Tier 189 model?
The Government has introduced a tiered structure that places each occupation into Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4 based on:
• economic value
• skills shortages
• labour market needs
• how often the occupation is already being granted visas under subclass 190, 491 and 186

This framework also confirms that occupation ceilings are recalibrated each year.
If an occupation’s ceiling is met or exceeded through other skilled programs (190, 491, 186), it may not receive any 189 invitations in the following year.

🧩 High points still matter — candidates are selected based on the highest points ranking until ceilings are reached.

💡 What if your occupation is not in Tier 1 (e.g., Accounting, IT, Business)?

Being in Tier 3 or Tier 4 does not mean zero chance — but your PR strategy must shift to where your occupation is actually prioritised:

✔️ State Nomination (190/491)
Many states continue to invite occupations like:
• Accounting
• ICT
• Business
• Engineering
• Education

Each state has different preferences:
• working in nominated occupation
• superior English
• skilled partner
• priority sectors

✔️ Employer-Sponsored Pathway (Subclass 186)
For many non-Tier-1 occupations, employer sponsorship remains a strong and realistic PR pathway.
