All Australian state and territory skilled-migration nomination programs (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT) operate on the financial-year cycle (1 July - 30 June). Programs typically pause and reset between cycles while new occupation lists, points cutoffs, and stream allocations are published. Each state's program may also pause mid-year if its allocation is exhausted. Always verify the program is currently OPEN on the official state government program page before lodging an Expression of Interest or invitation request. State pages on this site link to the official program pages.
