Victoria Subclass 190 Visa Invitation Round on 10 November 2026: Lowest VPT Scores by Occupation
Updated on 12 November 2026 Key takeaways
Victoria's 10 November 2026 subclass 190 invitation round recorded lowest VPT scores from 515 to 815 across 21 occupations. These figures are unofficial. They were compiled from multiple sources, have not been confirmed by the Victorian Government and may change once official information is published.
Developer Programmers recorded the highest lowest score at 815, followed by ICT Security Specialist at 803 and Data Scientist at 799. Motor Mechanic (General) recorded the lowest at 515.
Applicants in this round counted their points using the Victorian Points Test (VPT). The scores below are VPT totals and cannot be compared directly with SkillSelect points.
Eight occupations recorded more than one score. Early Childhood Teacher recorded 11 scores, from 625 to 728.
Scores of 803 and 815 are above the 800-point ceiling for offshore ROIs, so they include earnings points from skilled employment in Victoria.
Round Summary
Victoria issued subclass 190 invitations on 10 November 2026, following the opening of 2026-27 Registrations of Interest (ROI) on 26 October 2026. The state received 900 subclass 190 nomination places for the year, as covered in the Victoria subclass 190 allocation update.
The table below lists each occupation with the lowest VPT score recorded and any other scores recorded in the same round. All results relate to subclass 190. Residency status is not shown because it was not reported consistently across sources.
Occupations and Scores in the 10 November 2026 Round
Victorian Points Test in the 10 November Round
Victoria ranks every ROI on the Victorian Points Test, which scores seven factors: age, English language, experience in the nominated occupation, education, occupation skill level, partner skills and annual earnings from skilled employment in Victoria. The maximum total is 950 points. The full scoring tables and a calculator are on the Victoria Skilled Migration Program page.
Applicants outside Victoria score 0 for earnings, which limits an offshore ROI to 800 points. The scores of 803 for ICT Security Specialist and 815 for Developer Programmers sit above that ceiling and therefore include earnings points. Data Scientist, at 799, sits just below it.
The VPT is separate from SkillSelect. The federal minimum of 65 points still applies for visa eligibility, while the VPT is used only to rank ROIs for Victorian nomination. There is no fixed pass mark, and invitations go to the highest totals in each round.
Score Ranges by Occupation
Thirteen occupations recorded a single score, and eight recorded more than one. Gaps between the lowest and highest score in the same occupation reached 103 points for Early Childhood Teacher and 102 points for Registered Nurse (Surgical). Spreads of this size are consistent with invitations being issued through more than one pool, since Victoria ranks ROIs in a Most Competitive pool and within priority industries. The sources do not state which pool each score came from, so this cannot be confirmed.
The 2026-27 priority industries are Healthcare, Social assistance, Education and Construction. Early Childhood teachers need at least 1 year of relevant experience and Proficient or Superior English to be prioritised.
Next Steps for Applicants
Subclass 190 invitations moved between 37 and 45 per round from 1 October to 15 October and stayed at 38 on 23 October. The count then rose to 64 on 29 October and 68 on 5 November. The previous high before that was 45 on 15 October, and the first round on 20 August issued 20.
Active ROI holders.
The lowest score recorded for an occupation is a reference point for this round only. With no fixed pass mark and only 900 subclass 190 places for the program year, the score needed in later rounds depends on the ROIs in the pool at the time.
Offshore applicants.
The 800-point ceiling means occupations that recorded lowest scores above 800 are out of reach for offshore ROIs in this round. Occupations recorded between 515 and 799 remain within range for a high-scoring offshore profile.
Applicants below the recorded range.
Other state programs and visa pathways should be assessed in parallel. Subclass 491 ROIs are not yet open, and Victoria has not finalised its 2026-27 subclass 491 places.
Before lodging.
The SkillSelect EOI should be current, the English test should have at least 12 weeks of validity remaining at the nomination stage, and any claimed earnings should come from an employer physically located in Victoria. A new 2026-27 ROI is required, as earlier ROIs do not carry over.
Official round data from the Victorian Government should be checked when it is published, and this post will be updated if the figures change.
