As soon as Victoria's latest state nomination invitations were released, our backend lit up with activity again.

Many early childhood and secondary education applicants are asking, "What's the logic this time? Why hasn't my points score moved?"

To help everyone better understand the real trends of this round, we've compiled the frontline invitation data and trend analysis we currently have, hoping to provide you with clearer reference points.

Today's Invitation Data

491 Early Childhood: 65+15 | Single | Annual salary 90k+

190 Early Childhood (Offshore): 80+5 | 1 year work experience | Single

190 Early Childhood (Offshore): 75+5 | 3 years work experience

190 Secondary Teacher: 65+5 | Spouse +5 points | Employed | Annual salary 90k

Combined with external feedback data, it appears that onshore early childhood teachers were largely unsuccessful this round, with no confirmed cases of onshore early childhood invitations seen so far.

Early Childhood Education Direction

The most puzzling aspect of this round is:

Does Victoria seem to be prioritizing filling the offshore quota first?

For early childhood education students who studied locally in Australia, completed provisional registration, and worked hard to gain experience, this round is indeed quite frustrating.

Especially since the number of ROI (Registration of Interest) submissions is already high, competitive pressure continues to climb.

Secondary Teacher Direction

In contrast, the trend for secondary teachers is very clear:

The applicant pool is smaller.

If you have stable employment, you're basically in a "secured admission" state.

In other words, as long as you possess genuine employment and the ability to continue working in the field, the priority for secondary teachers was clearly maximized this round.

Why did this difference occur?

There are too many early childhood education applicants; the queue is as crowded as a subway during peak hours.

Victoria's ROI system shows a clear preference for offshore 190 applications, more like completing "overseas backfilling" first.

For onshore applicants, the overall feeling from the system is: You're already in the country, you're not going anywhere.
