Pro-rata occupations:
Due to high levels of demand, certain occupations are issued invitations on a pro-rata basis.
SkillSelect first allocates available places to Skilled Independent visas (subclass 189) and then the remaining to Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) Family-Sponsored. If all places are taken up by subclass 189 visas then there will be no invitations issued for subclass 491 visas in these occupations.
