Victoria’s skilled visa nomination program re-opened on Tuesday, 5 January 2021.
Victoria’s full 2020-21 Business Innovation and Investment nomination program opened on 4 January 2021 (following the limited opening of the program for the Significant Investor stream applicants on 30 November 2020).

- Create new jobs for Victorians;
- Boost innovation in strategic sectors (digital technologies, advanced manufacturing, health and life sciences, agri-food, new energy and emissions reduction, circular economy and priority precincts);
- Generate forward-looking businesses utilising their qualifications in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) fields.
