The direction is familiar, but it is worth restating: employer-sponsored, state-nominated and genuinely skilled applicants remain the best positioned. Independent points-tested pathways continue to sit behind employment-linked and nominated options in practical terms.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Iowan Old Style', 'Palatino Linotype', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 23px; line-height: 1.25; margin: 28px 0 12px; color: #0a3d3a; padding-bottom: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #cfe2de; letter-spacing: -0.01em;\">Skilled income thresholds are up 3.8% from 1 July<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 18px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.65; color: #16211f; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The skilled visa income thresholds rose by 3.8% on 1 July 2026 and apply to relevant nominations lodged from that date.
